Fannie Mae, the leading house mortgage lender in the United States, requested the government Friday for an additional 8.5 billion U.S. dollars in aid after seeing huge loss in the first quarter of 2011.
Fannie Mae saw a net loss of 6.5 billion dollars in the first three months of 2011, compared to net income of 73 million dollars in the fourth quarter last year, and a net loss of 11.5 billion dollars in the same period of 2010, the company said in a financial report.

The government should tell them to piss off. But of course they won't do that. Asking for 8.5 billion? What about we give you 50 billion?

Want to cut the deficit? Tell the banks to piss off and go bankrupt.

maybe, I am wrong, but didn't the gov't kind of force fannie and freddie to buy more of those toxic assetts, just to get them off the banks books???
may I suggest, instead of coming to us whining for another bailout, they charge fraud on these assetts and force the banks to buy them back???
otherwise, well, by by fannie and freddie, you ain't worth another 8 billion!!!

Crazy thought.... from what I can tell, theres about 115 million occupied houses in the U.S.
Just think about how many times over all these houses could have been paid off with all of the recent bailouts.
