Thanks to MicroBilt!! http://www.microbilt.com

LYRICS:
I used to think that Freddie Mac was a pimp,
but now my mutual fund is the one walking with a limp

And Fannie Mae, you almost failed me, boo
--But the faithful feds, they bailed you.

Poor Lehman Brothers....yall got the shaft (shaft!)
The government said, good luck with that (shaft!)

And AIG, old Uncle Sam he loaned you
85 Billion, but now he owns you.

Some cry out, Weve become a socialist state!
While others say, We need to regulate.
Should I vote McCain or pull the lever for O-bama?
Im thinkin either way, Ill be movin back in with momma.
(but the cookins good---and I think shell drive me to work)

You see, I dont have much job security
Im an internet comedian...Im not sure thats even technically a job. I dont think it is.
I cant put my finger on it; but you know things have gone wrong
when I cant even afford to finish this...

    The best idea is to DISMANTLE both Fannie and Freddie. The idea of both of these companies is to inject liquidity into the mortgage markets, by freeing banks capital which would otherwise be tied up in the loans if it were not for F&F buying. The problem is when F&F get burned, the government gets burned. Also, I am sure banks are a lot less careful doing their underwriting due to the fact that F&F are going to soon be taking the stinky paper off thier hands, Will F&F ever die, oink oink, never.

    See, this is true political satire. Eat your heart out, Seth MacFarlane. Eat your arrogant heart out.

    Yes, this song is referring to the mortgage criss in, 2007-2008. Which is what started the Great Recession.
