Moderators IWS Posted April 3, 2009 Moderators Posted April 3, 2009 Fannie, Freddie worker bonuses total $210M By ALAN ZIBEL, AP Real Estate Writer Alan Zibel, Ap Real Estate Writer ? 2 hrs 57 mins ago WASHINGTON ? Mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plan to pay more than $210 million in bonuses through next year to give workers the incentive to stay in their jobs at the government-controlled companies. Fannie, Freddie worker bonuses total $210M Weren't those AIG bonuses "retention bonuses" too? And we won't hear a peep from Barney Frank on this one. Quote One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell

And we won't hear a peep from Barney Frank on this one. Ohhhh noooo.... not a word. Slobberin' Barney Frank, that bloated mushmouth toad, had his little boytoy over at Freddy Mac. Quote http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5I0M6PKr5HM/SrZiXevwa5I/AAAAAAAAAIo/HZMRBP1nwyI/s200/obama-socialism-attacks-capitalism.jpg It's a mistake to think that poor people get the benefit from the welfare system. It's a total fraud. Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators, it's totally out of control. This idea that the government has services or goods that they can pass on is a complete farce. Governments have nothing. They can't create anything, they never have. All they can do is steal from one group and give it to another at the destruction of the principles of freedom, and we ought to challenge that concept. - Ron Paul
Moderators IWS Posted April 10, 2009 Author Moderators Posted April 10, 2009 Well it's been almost a week since the Dems buried this news release on a Friday afternoon, and still not a peep of protest. No ACORN buses to the homes of the Freddy and Fanny bonus recipients, no protests outside Freddy or Fanny, and Not a friggin' story in the MSM about these people getting more for bonuses than AIG and Freddy and Fannie were the heart of the economic collapse. I guess the Dem puppet master, George Soros still has a stake in Freddy and Fannie.

That's because Freddy and Fanny do GOOD, loaning to people who cannot repay their debts. Not like those EVIL corporations who only loan to people who have a job. People who do GOOD deserve bonuses, people who are EVIL do not. Therefore, no protests. Quote Been wrong before, could be wrong now, will probably be wrong again. Don't take yourself so dang seriously. ;)

Moderators IWS Posted April 13, 2009 Author Moderators Posted April 13, 2009 More than two weeks later and nothing. I'm still trying to figure out how the administration is deciding what companies to take over. I mean, on one hand you have GM. The federal government gives them $17 billion this winter by President Bush. President Obama decides they don't like the plan GM came up with in March gives them 60 days to get a better plan and the federal government will keep funding them until that point but forces out the CEO, Wagoner, who many describe as driving a once great company into the ground, and indicates that he will likely force out members of the board and put in people he thinks should be on the board of GM. Then on the other hand, you have GE. The federal government under President Obama, gives them $140 billion in bailout money. President Obama decides that the GE CEO, Jefferey Immelt, who many describe as driving a once great company into the ground, should be part of his administration's economic advisory team. :confused: Quote One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell
