Yes, that's certainly great news. Let them ramp up their balance sheets before the government has to bail them out. They'll also soon be able to buy larger mortgages, up to $700k or so. You do have to admire the political dexterity of these companies though. They engage in wholesale fraud, their political hack CEOs make a fortune in options, they are at the center of a huge financial crisis, and they manage to use it to justify less control over their business. Brilliant!
