Fannie Mae Kindled Tea Party

The Tea Party movement has been accused of being run by racists and bigots and sexists and homophobes. Its members have been accused of being anti-science who don’t care if the world is burning to the ground.

The charges are false. In fact, when one looks at those making them  and then follows the money, well, it is more often than not welcome to the Tea Party.

The spark for the movement was obviously Obamacare, the disaster that was predicted and is now coming to pass.

But there was plenty of kindling and maybe the biggest pile of it was the housing bust sparked by the misue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fannie Mae is the Federal National Mortgage Association which is a financial services corporation created by the U.S. Congress in 1938 to expand the secondary mortgage market by securitizing mortgages. The nickname comes from its acronym (FNMA)

Freddie Mac is Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) It is also a “government-sponsored enterprise” and was created in 1970. Freddie Mac  buys mortgages on the secondary market, pools them, and sells them as a mortgage-backed security to investors on the open market.

In 1992, the Housing and Community Development Act was passed and this mandated Fannie Mae to provide mortgages to low-income people who would otherwise be considered bad credit risks, which were then pooled by Freddie Mac.

Under the Clinton administration, these risky loans boomed. Now, Fannie  and Freddie while “government sponsored” are publicly traded, although both are now over the counter as they were delisted by the New York Stock Exchange in 2010.  Their officers are not government employees.

The expanded loans made it look like they were just doing great when it was doing anything but.

Harold Raines was the CEO of Fannie Mae. He made about $90 million in salary and bonuses. J. Timothy Howard was CFO and Leanne G. Spencer was controller. They also made money.

In December 2006,  U.S. regulators  filed suit against them seeking to recoup $115 million in bonus payments along with $100 million in penalties. In 2012, the suit was dropped. They got away with it.

Pretty good heist, right?

The bad loans at Fannie  and Freddie cost the U.S. taxpayers between  $224 and $360 billion in bailouts.

Bernie Madoff was a piker to these guys and he’s going to die in prison.

And that is just one more reason why there is a Tea Party and people are angry and suspicious of those running government.

New Resistance Required To Be Freemen

 

Considering that the House of Representatives’ vote for the speakership comes up Tuesday a reminder as to what is at stake can be made to us all. The House of Representatives can stop the wannabe deity and sovereign rule of Obama, if they care to. Things look pretty grim when newly elected Mia Love is already, so shortly after an outstanding conservative victory in the recent midterms, talking about reelecting the current speaker.

It is up to us.

Call your Representatives and remind them today 202-224-3121 of your expectations and their vote.

Let us allow our first President, George Washington be our voice today as he was that day in 1776 to the continental army before the battle of Long Island:

The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die”

One must accept here that today’s liberalism is the antithesis of freedom; for if we today’s brave resistance, the new resistance, accept the oppression of one set of people for the benefit of others, then we do not have freedom at all.

Dare then to pray and ask God for his help and then ask your earthly representatives for theirs.
