Peter Schiff sees socialization of United States bubble economy will sink the Federal Reserve Note. US mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are facing growing pressure as fears intensify about a potential calamity at the firms, which underpin trillions of dollars in home loans. Together they own or guarantee some US$5.2 trillion in loans, or about 40 per cent of the total value of home loans in the United States. Peter Schiff at Euro Pacific Capital said the two giants were likely to need government bailouts in view of the “dubious quality of their mortgage portfolios”. “Together both firms have less than US$90 billion in capital reserves to ensure losses on more than US$5 trillion in mortgage debt … Clearly, Fannie and Freddie would have no ability to survive without a government bailout. This means that taxpayers will be on the hook for hundreds of billions of losses, perhaps even more than one trillion.”
