Penfold, forgive me for being an economics noob, but I’m having trouble with your argument. Your argument seems to be 2 points:

1. The federal government rescuing Fannie & Freddie is unfair/wrong.
2. We won’t learn from our mistakes and have a shot at a better economy in the future unless they are allowed to fail.

No?
