Political activist and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader is questioning the “legal authority” of the Obama administration’s secret decision to prevent Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders from obtaining any future earnings in the government sponsored enterprises (GSE).The struggles of America's fascist movement.
Nader slammed the administration’s actions in a letter he sent to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, which was obtained by The Daily Caller.
The administration’s decision to shut out shareholders means that the mortgage-lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which received a $189.5 billion taxpayer-funded bailout in 2008 that has already mostly been paid back to the U.S. Treasury, could henceforth see its profits going to the government instead of to the company’s private investors — many of whom had no idea that this policy was in place at the time they invested. This means that the two mortgage giants that largely caused the financial collapse are now essentially nationalized.
