Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[rocco2]

I could not have prosed it better my self...

Today Fannie Mae is a cash-generating machine that sends billions of dollars in quarterly dividends to the Treasury. These business-generated cash flows provide the Treasury with monies to fund Congressional appropriations and delay the harsh reality of asking Congress for an increase in the legal debt limit which is a controversy in itself. Because of the terms of the takeover, Treasury can increase its dividend payments by simply making a managerial decision to increase their investment in Fannie Mae and thus increase its cash dividend payments.
