Now that mortgage giant Fannie Mae says it once again has lost money in its fourth quarter, it is asking our US federal government for $4.57 billion to cover another deficit.
Washington-based Fannie said it lost $2.41 billion in the October-December quarter, as a result of lower home prices. Revenue was $4.53 billion.
