Congress constructs rescue package for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac by Angela Xu, Jul 17, 2008 (5:40pm)

This bill would save the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from collapsing. The two GSEs provide the most financing for home loans in the US, so their bankruptcies would cause the economy to stumble again. This bill would allow the Treasury to bolster Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and give them higher limits on the amounts they’re allowed to purchase in mortgages.
