Um...what?

I had said that it isn't obscene for the federal government to make 50 billion dollars a year off a much larger amount of very risky loans that it bears almost all the risk for, and you accuse me of "shilling for the banking industry".

I think it is you who needs to try harder.

EDIT: changed all to almost all, since not all loans are federally guarenteed as warrenm points out
