Then the Nub of Mr. Geithner's Gist...
...if I understand it correctly, is that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buying up toxic assets and creating financial 'instruments' secured by them was a bad idea that cratered the mortgage industry and collapsed the economy, but the Treasury Department buying up toxic assets and creating financial 'instruments' secured by them is a great idea because we're going to pay for them with folks' pension money.
I guess the right letterhead makes all the difference.
