Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac Excutives rewarded themselves with bonus totaling $100 Million, were did the money come from, the taxpayers. Recently the same Fannie Mae wanted $7.9 million more to cover recent losses, this is in addition to the $179 Billion the largest sum for a company in the Bail out http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fannie-freddie-executives-score-100m-105300790.html

Playing devil's advocate here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fannie-freddie-executives-score-100m-105300790.html The Democrat-controlled Senate Banking Committee also plans to hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. Additionally, the Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is set to call Edward DeMarco, the acting director of FHFA, and the CEOs of the two firms, to a hearing on the pay packages on Wednesday. Sixty senators from both parties have already sent a letter to DeMarco asking that he change the compensation policy of the two companies. FHFA has final say on pay at the two companies. "The idea that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which rely on taxpayer funding to stay afloat, must offer excessive bonuses to its executives to attract effective management strains credulity," the letter said. DeMarco responded to the senators saying that the executives who were running the companies in 2008 when the problems occurred have left without any golden parachutes, and that effective management is needed to make sure that taxpayer losses at the firms do not rise and the companies continue to function. He said current executive pay at the firm is about 40% less than before the bailouts. "I need to ensure that the companies have people with the skills needed to manage the credit and interest rate risks of $5 trillion worth of mortgage assets and $1 trillion of annual new business that the American taxpayer is supporting," he wrote.

We need to put in place some "regulations" limiting executive compensation.Yet I seem to be hearing over and over again how we need to get rid of regulations,how they are stifling the creation of jobs.....now if only I could remember where I keep hearing this claptrap [8\|] Oh wait,it just came to me.....the Republican debates [:)]

yes I read that Kali... personally pumping up a reward for fixing the clusterfuck is just feeding the pigs who think they deserve it for doing their job. they thought they had people with the skills before hand, sposing this bunch dont do anything better, can they not have their reward given ONCE the compny has proven itself to be "too big to fail"? holding a company to ransom for millions is still obscene. I really do get the need to "get the best people" but considering the clusterfuck in the financial business world, are any of them competent, let alone worth hundred of millions.

Isnt this the same thing we were bitching about when the corporations started giving out bonuses... and we were told by the republicans that it was needed to attract the better management teams? I dont like it now, I didnt like it then, but to have a conservative complaining about this while he had no compulsion to complain about the others getting theirs... hypocritical.

slvemike4u -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 12:54:34 PM)
Especially in light of the conservative mantra that regulations are at the root of the economies problems.

Lucylastic -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 12:59:19 PM)
its shown that no regs means that the greedy piggies get bigger and fatter and fuck over the end consumer or their staff who dont have stocks.

In the end, its revolution when people cannot afford to live anymore.

LillyBoPeep -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 1:08:23 PM)
this makes me sufficiently ill. dumping more tax money into the pockets of overpaid executives to fix the mistakes of other overpayed executives? yeah, real sound... oy. [8\|] (edited for snark)

tazzygirl -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 1:09:52 PM)
Didnt they just ask for more money?

slvemike4u -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 1:10:41 PM)
Yep....just to keep them afloat this quarter IIRC.

LillyBoPeep -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 1:12:35 PM)
they did, to cover losses. if they'd kept the bonuses, that would've covered their losses. the idea that the only way to ensure that "adequate management" can be found is to pay them this obscene amount of money just goes to show that they still don't think this problem has anything to do with them.

I am currently having to deal with Fannie Mae on a legal issue. As far as I can see, those people couldn't find their own asses with both hands. The last thing they deserve is a bonus. They are practically as illogical, rude and impossible to deal with as Bank of America, and that is saying a lot.

tazzygirl -> RE: Fannie Mae rewards it executive with $100 Millions (11/15/2011 1:13:05 PM)
Wouldnt 100 million have kept them afloat? Now, look, lets be serious. A company makes well above record profits... then you bonus the hell out of management. But if you have your hat in your hand and are begging the people, us, those who are hurting the most in all this corporate bullshit, for more money, you damn well better not be wasting a dime.

The private sector doesn't get to just print money -- the Gov. does. Big difference. As to the "bail outs" some received, I agree with what Newt said in one of the debates... an audit of the Federal Reserve to see WHY some got bailed out and others didn't.
