Freddie Mac Discontinues Party
Mortgage giant Freddie Mac, a recent recipient of a federal bailout, will not throw a party during the Democratic nominatin convention in Denver. When I’m broke I can’t go to a party, let alone throw one for a bunch of lobbyists and politicos. So I understand.
Freddie Mac might be saving some money and face in this decision, but they’ve been happily doling out money to committees that provide oversight over the mortgage industry. Below is a chart of Freddie Mac’s PAC contributions to active members of the House. Financial Services Committee members are highlighted:
