Call To Action

It seems that whenever we the taxpayers are levied with fees, a surcharge or "temporary" tax or anything to help bail out the bad decisions of larger corporations or government our officials don't like losing those dollars rolling in and it's no less the case here with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Guarantee Fees. Please read.

Original content by George Souto NMLS #65149

The Mortgage Action Alliance put out a Call To Action this week to oppose the extension of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guarantee fees (g-fees).  G-fees were adopted in 2011 to help protect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against losses from bad loans.  But now that the Tax Payers have dug Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac out of the financial hole they were in, the discussion should be to eliminate the g-fees not extended them to fund non mortgage and homeownership related costs.

The attempt to extend the g-fees beyond the original 2021 date is being done under the guise of improving the nations highways, but we all know once the g-fees are extended they will continue to be extended.  This is another effort of putting more of the tax burden on unsuspecting homeowners.

Hope everyone reading this blog takes the time to take action on this issue.  It only takes a couple of minutes, and could save individual homeowners thousands of dollars.  Just click on the Call To Action below and follow the instructions.  Also feel free to re-blog this and pass this information along to those who follow your blog.

Nick, it's ironic that the government constantly seems to invent new rules and regulations to "protect the consumer" yet this is  one of those things where the average person wouldn't even know about it.

The illogic and continued harm to both our countries infrastructure and to the real estate market is mind-boggling.

You got that right with your preface.  One of the reasons that these things don't go away is that some fat cats can't let go of the gravy train.

Government get rid of a fee?

We can try, but once they get a fee approved, they have spent the money and they will never give it up.

Hello Nick T Pappas 

Great choice for a reblog as George Souto 's post is a call to action indeed.  The taxes just keep coming and hidden from the taxpayers...the politicians in Washington continue to spend with impunity.
