The 12 member “super committee” of House and Senate members tasked with tackling debt reduction should seriously consider raising the guarantee fees charged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as one way to reduce government expenditures, according to the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. In a letter to the members of the Joint Select Committee to Reduce the Deficit, Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-AL, said the committee should consider raising the premiums the GSEs charge lenders to insure against the risk that borrowers will fail to repay their loans to something even higher than the White House and regulators have proposed.
