Subprime borrower transfers his debt to the bank.
Bank runs into trouble and passes debt to Fannie/Freddie.
Fannie/Freddie runs into trouble and now transfers liability to the US Treasury.
But who backs up the US Treasury? Nothing comes from nothing. Someone eventually pays the price. US taxpayers, and all the foreign governments holding US Treasury bonds.
But investors don't want to take on bad debts and lose money.
Just as investors first fleed the subprime borrower, then the banks, then Freddie/Fannie, now, it will be the US dollar itself that is subprime and governments will flee the devaluing dollar .
US is passing on its bad debt to the world. We will be affected.

Economic Outlook 2008: US Government's Takeover of Fannie-Freddie does not end subprime problem
On 7 Sept 2008, the US Federal Government announced its takeover of collapsing mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two largest US home-loan lenders. The stock markets all over the world rallied on 8 Sept 2008, interpreting the "takeover" as an indication that the United States government will do whatever it takes to prevent the global credit crisis from deepening. While stock indices jumped 3%-5% all over the world, analysts cautioned that this was just a bear-rally that would at best extend for a few days. The fundamentals haven't changed: US Subprime problem will persist as long as mortgage payment remains a problem and continues to be worsened by increasing US unemployment rate which has surged to 6.1%. The "takeover" will not lead to an immediate improvement in employment and pumping money into these mortgage institutions will not encourage Americans to come out and buy homes.The following are some views of forumers extracted from the Singapore Property Forum:

A mortgage broker in Dayton Ohio will know a variety of lending institutions across the country and will be able to find a lender willing to work with buyers with less-than-perfect credit histories. You can get still more information about home buyers which I browsed on internet can fetch you help.
One of the biggest reasons traditional agents get away with not offering rebates is because most homebuyers are not very well informed about buyer rebates. You can get still more information about home buyers which I browsed on internet can fetch you help.

The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
