Or you could....
If you were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you could just donate that much to the Obama campaign. Oh yea, and have it be the second highest contribution ever by the two, now defunct GSE's, to any campaign in history.

"The Right" isn't blaming Blacks
There is simply a lot of blame that has honestly accrued to the CRA and the GSE's in their market-distorting efforts to increase minority and poor ownership of homes. The banks were coerced by bank examiners that insisted on a certain percentage of extra-risky and non-white loans. The GSE's chimed in with powerful incentives for banks to make ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!

700+billion Bail out BS
Like any failed business the assets of these companies (whether on paper or in mortar and brick) should be auctioned off to the highest bidders. This would limit compensation of executives responsible for this disaster and hopefully allow responsible firms to manage these assets in a profitable fashion. A Gov bailout, even in the form of a ...

Raines Still Innocent?
Well it took a while, but Fannie Mae has finally crashed thanks to manipulation of earnings and coverups by current and former senior management. It would have been much easier to give Mr. Raines his $50,000,000+ in excess compensation than admit the company was taking incredible risks by lowering underwriting standards under his rein and ...
