The Reagan Reverie (a.k.a. “Revolution?”) continues: Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan—ostensibly an advocate of the free-market—signs the Agricultural Credit Act, providing 4,000,000,000 “dollars” in Federal subsidized loans to the nation’s agricultural sector. The ACA also creates the Federal Agriculture Mortgage Corporation (a.k.a. “Farmer Mac”) a government sponsored enterprise modeled along the lines of Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (a.k.a. “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac”), to provide a secondary market for agricultural and rural mortgages; the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation, to insure investors in the Farm Credit System against losses; and the Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation to provide greater liquidity to the nation’s already debt saturated agricultural markets.
