Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae Bailout

“GOP Lawmaker Breaks Ranks”
Rep. Gary Miller … on Thursday found himself bucking his president and GOP Leaders by joining the House Democratic majority in supporting a large-scale federal response to the housing crisis. Miller…was among just 39 Republicans – and the only one in California – to vote for this bill. GOP leaders condemned the bill, written by one of the most liberal members of the House…Barney Frank (D-Mass) They called it a bailout of irresponsible lenders and borrowers. The White House threatened a veto. Click here to read article.
Columnist Michael Moodian, with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, challenged Rep. Miller to clear up numerous violations or resign. It is clear that Congressman Miller has done neither. Click here to read.
June 2009: It was disclosed that Congressman Gary Miller SOLD up to $500,000 shares of Countrywide stock shortly after Bank of America bought Countrywide. Conflict of interest? Miller is the ranking Republican on the powerful Banking and Financial Services Committee which oversees of all things Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and major banks. The Bailouts directly “bailed out” many of the firms Miller oversaw. Now, documents show Miller had a personal stake in the outcome of one of the major lenders that caused possibly the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Click here to read.
