Fannie Mae to seek $3.7B cash infusion from US taxpayers

Posted online

Under government conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis, Fannie Mae officials said the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees its operations, would pursue the taxpayer funds.

What an incentive to pay taxes - so government agencies like Fannie Mae [Whom we have bailed out before] can mismanage what they get and instead of fixing the problem that caused it they just ask for more. Sounds like some teenagers I've known except times a BILLION.
