Gwen, ask Sarah what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mean.
I'll put money on her not knowing the answer.

2. I don't have a clue, but you'd think they would have told her
I know the names are acronyms but I don't know exactly what. (Curiously, I asked my husband who is banking lawyer and former Commissioner of Financial Institutions for my state (which has a huge banking industry) and he couldn't remember exactly either. It's party acronym and part made up.)

3. Yes, but you could look it up on Wikipedia
Enter Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

5. Sarah talks of Fanny and Freddie as if they were real people and...
on an earlier statement she indicated that Fanny and Freddie were government waste and abuse, clearly not knowing they were privately owned. She is totally clueless!
