After getting government bailout money of about $112 billion since 2008, Fannie Mae is reportedly wanting to get another round of federal bailout fund of a whopping $7.8 billion. This news comes as a little surprising given earlier reports that Fannie Mae was recovering and supposedly doing fairly well. However, of the $112 billion it has received from the government, it has paid back only about $17 billion back in form of dividends.
