Two things
1) Then maybe the government shouldn't be run like a business?
2) To get serious, I'm aware of the recent problems at Fannie Mae. To put it in perspective, though, they've been in business for, what, something like three decades? Far as I know, this is a first. If you want me to buy the argument that Enron and Worldcom et al are anomalies, then the same standards should apply in this case too.
