Don't worry, be happy.

Reports the Washington Post:

Freddie Mac yesterday reported that it lost $10 billion in the first three months of the year, as investments in mortgages continued to fall in value at the federally run housing finance giant.

The disclosure automatically prompts a $6 billion investment from the Treasury Department to keep the company solvent, bringing Freddie Mac's bailout total to $51 billion in the first nine months of its government rescue.

Hi Doug
I am 63 years old. I have never experienced the fear and no-confidence in our future as I am hearing in these days.
Its not the money...it is the powergrabbing stupidity in Washington.
We are seriously in for a mess these next few years.

So, giving taxpayer money to corporations is a "bailout," giving it to a federally run company is an "investment!" The kultursmog thickens.
