Fuck the Fannie Mae Bailout
Can you believe that the CEO of Fannie Mae who salary rose to $13.4 million this year is not getting fired? Instead, his corrupt company is getting bailed out by the Federal Government.
Fannie Mae bailout: Taxing America’s poorest citizens to help the richest:
In Roman times the employees of Fannie Mae would be decimated, i.e., they would draw lots and 90 percent of them would beat the unlucky 10 percent to death with clubs. What would be a modern equivalent? At the very least taxpayers should have the satisfaction of seeing the highest paid 100 Fannie Mae employees fired with two weeks of severance pay (it can’t be that hard to find replacements given that the current staff’s primary achievements have been accounting fraud and then insolvency).
It’s like Patton Oswalt’s ‘Dukes of Hazard’ bit: “Ain’t no way they gonna get away with this one! Skup-dup-dubby-doop-do” (Edit: fixed link here, it’s pretty good stuff so take a listen.)
