IU Replies to Op/Ed Suggesting Trump on Verge of Crisis Repeat

February 2, 2018
GSE shareholders rights group Investors Unite took issue with a recent op/ed that suggested the Trump administration is preparing to return to the same housing-finance market that purportedly caused the financial crisis. In a piece penned for the Wall Street Journal, the American Enterprise Institute’s Peter Wallison warned that the Treasury Department is going down the wrong road on GSE reform. However, IU said Wallison's fears that the Federal Housing Finance Agency and Treasury are “marching back to the 1930’s” are unfounded. The group said in a blog posting that conservatives like Wallison will always claim that “statist prescriptions to economic questions are inevitably doomed to failure and almost always make matters worse.”
