Following last weeks announcement that Freddie Mac lost $6.7 billion in the first quarter of 2010 and needed another $10.6 billion in bailout cash from taxpayers, Fannie Mae announced yesterday that it has lost $11.5 billion so far this year and needs a fresh $8.4 billion taxpayer bailout. I know....it was Bush's fault.Liberals don't know how to accept blame for their actions or how to correct them.They don't teach that in college now days... This program was designed to let people buy homes that couldn't afford to buy them or even make the housepayments....does that make sense? One of Barnie Franks and Chris Dodds favorite programs. I wonder how much money they have made off of it? |

As to banks (or whatever they are) being bailed out...OUCH...my head is hurting Poppa...

Just look up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on google and they will tell you what its all about.Bush warned Barney Franks back in 2003 that this program was a disaster,but he pooh poohed it as a bunch on nonsense. |
