That hasn't come without cost. As the FHA filled the void left by the private sector, it has assumed the risks of those loans. And now that a growing number of people have stopped paying their mortgages, the FHA has had to pay out more in claims that it forecast. The agency has just $3.6 billion on hand to cover any unexpected losses in its $685 billion portfolio. That paltry level of reserve funding, less than is mandated by the government, has left some members of Congress in a twitchy mood and some onlookers to wonder...

(Although this joke is handled with subtle invention, with Kurt and Santana having to correct the poor girl.) But we also start learning that she’s opinionated – “Bake sales are kind of bougie,” and actually caring, choosing to be friends...
