So we just nationalized F & F at the drop of a hat, without any debate, without amendments. Now Congress wants to give crooked former CEO Franklin Raines a $5.3 million severance package for cooking the books. The man belongs in jail. $6.3 billion in obvious accounting fraud.
And Congress wants to give him a Golden Parachute ______________ ? ! $ 200 million in political bribes goes a long way these days.
