NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's never-ending bailout was considered the dumbest thing on Wall Street this week by readers of TheStreet. As of late Friday, about 38% of the more than 215 readers that took our poll thought that the government's plan to give Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac more bailout money is a particularly bad idea. On Thursday, the government announced that the estimate for the Fannie and Freddie bailout would more than double the original bailout package in the next three years, possibly reaching as much as $215 billion. The White House spent the week touting the success of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, projecting losses would come down to $50 billion, down from a previously estimated $341 billion earlier this year. Unfortunately, while TARP costs go down, the cost of keeping Freddie and Fannie solvent is skyrocketing.
