Senator Kent, for one, remembers how they were treated by fnma lobbyists...The senate aid brought this to my attention, it was not my idea.
Im sure there are many other "old time" senators/congress critters who also have a bad taste in their mouth.
The "new" senators, are taught by the old ones. Thus, we have a group committed to exacting revenge on fannie mae shareholders from the misdeeds of Barney Frank and his lover at FNMA. They have not forgotten.
Our laws are not a good place to exact revenge..this is contrary to the good of our country. Its no wonder why congress has a 12% approval rating, and most of them will be out a job come next election.
I, for one, will ask every one I know to "vote out" every politician who thinks its ok to steal from fannie shareholders because we are rich hedge funds and can afford to lose our money.
People will remember, too, those congress critters bent on killing fannie will cost many many jobs in the process. Not JUST the fannie and freddie employees, but realtors, title insurance, home inspection and repair, and many other housing and mortgage related industries will suffer horrific job losses if fannie is killed, as there is not a good replacement 30 year fixed low down payment mortgage alternative. Fannie killing senators = Job Killing Senators
