Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continued to cause headaches in Washington. Tim Geithner, the treasury secretary, speaking at a conference on housing-finance reform, gave warning that the transition must not be abrupt.

The two failed giants, along with the Federal Housing Administration, currently support 90% of new home mortgages.
