This is ridiculous and a complete failure over and over. Just recently they told us they didn’t need no stinking bailout and we always knew this was BS.

The cash-strapped Federal Housing Administration will likely require a $943 million taxpayer bailout to cover expected losses on loans it insured as the U.S. housing bubble was deflating, the Obama administration said on Wednesday.

It would be the first bailout of the government’s mortgage insurer in its nearly 80-year history.

The White House estimated the FHA has about $30 billion on hand, but said its cash reserves would likely be swamped by souring loans.
