Ever hear of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, Lou?

"The losers also would include banks and savings institutions, which hold more than $1.4 trillion in mortgage bonds, about 27 percent of the total. Foreigners, led by China's central bank, which has helped finance the U.S. housing market for at least a decade, hold $615 billion, or 11 percent. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own $568 billion of their own mortgage bonds, also about 11 percent."
