Maggie's Farm

Can someone explain to me how a GSE with implied taxpayer backing exempt from state and local taxes through federal mandate while benefitting from a lower cost of funds is allowed to make campaign/[political contributions to members of congress who are charged with regulating that GSE? This is a perfect example of the 'peoples representatives' acting in their own short term interests rather than the interests of their constituents. Such behavior may not be technically 'illegal' but the rules that allow the blatant, self-serving nature of such arrangements should be. These quasi government agencies are unconstitutional and should never have been created. Our constitution limits the power of government to prevent the potential for abuse inherent to these kind of arrangements. Governmnet is the cause of these difficulties rather than the 'lack of regulation' idea currently being pushed by the left. These brain dead zombies believe the solution to this problem is that additional authority be given to the incompetents responsible for it. Insanity.
