MOAR free money?

I am not sure why, but my feel is that this would not be a good idea. If people are not able to get a second mortgage, there is probably a good reason for it. Why would it/should it be easier to get from teh government and what protection is there for repaying?

Again, the reason homeowners aren’t refinancing on the private markets is the interest rate. The interest rates are high for an effin reason, to reduce the M1 and control/curtail inflation. Having Fannie Mae buy secondary mortgages at reduced rates dumps another trillion into the M1 when we need to get money out. This is an insanely stupid idea.
