Greenspan warns debt of Fannie and Freddie threatens system
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan urged Congress to cap the debt of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He said the two have grown to back about 4 trillion dollars in home mortgages, representing over three quarters of single family loans, and warned risks would rise if debt levels are not restrained. He testified before the Senate Banking Committee, pressing for action sooner rather than later.
