REVERSE GREED FOR FREDDIE MAC

     NYT - The Federal Government controls the mortgage giant Freddie Mac after shoveling $13 billion into the company in 2010 to rescue it from default. Then, in 2011, Uncle Sam  forked over an additional $ 7.6 billion.  Now, on May 4, 2012, Freddie Mac has requested $19 million more for the first quarter of 2012 ( loss for the first quarter totaled $1.2 billion).  All of this can be labeled "reverse greed".
