Fannie and Freddie are not allowed to pay back the government “loans” forced on them.

I actually wouldn’t have minded if the govt took a stake in the companies it bailed out — even those bailed out with pandemic funds — but they’d need to do it fairly and not the way they screwed Fannie and Freddie and their shareholders.
