Actually, Freddie made NO payment to UST during those two quarters and could not have made the original 10% SPD dividend prior to Amendment 3 being put in place. We can all argue over whether the combined FnF bailout total of $187 B was paid back or not, but that is a whole different discussion. Freddie paid Treasury nada during the two loss quarters and, obviously, could hardly have supported the costs of the Affordable Care Act during that time frame, either.
I will keep trying to have a conversation here, not an argument simply for argument's sake..
JMHO.
