An alleged "worst case scenario" shows the FHA could lose as much as
$115 Billion. Since these worst case scenarios are always famously
optimistic, the best course of action would be to shut the agency down.
I was quoted as saying just that by the Heartland in Congressional Report Raises Spectre of FHA Bailout.
The Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) losses over the next 30 years could be much higher than originally projected, according to the findings of a congressional committee. The dismal forecast has some bracing for another taxpayer-financed bailout.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is reporting that a worst-case scenario stress test conducted last year estimated the FHA could suffer losses as high as $115 billion. That forecast is significantly worse than the one reported by independent auditor Integrated Financial Engineering Inc., which projected losses of $65 billion for the 79-year old agency.
