In this segment of The Motley Fool's everything-financials show, Where The Money Is, banking analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson address the recent discussion in Washington to get rid of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and remind investors of the real purpose of these institutions.

Editor's note: In the above video, Matt refers to AGNC's CIO as Doug Kain. Mr. Kain's first name is Gary. The Fool regrets the error.
