RISMEDIA, Oct. 4, 2007-(MarketWatch)-Top Senate and House Democrats pressed for more aid to subprime-mortgage borrowers on Wednesday, saying more funding is needed to prevent foreclosures, caps on the portfolios of mortgage-buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be lifted and other steps should be taken. “This is a national crisis,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, at an event on Capitol Hill.
