Well it's a government sponsored institution that is publicly traded, their only purpose is to keep banks & financial companies fat so they can always lend to home buyers. But building off what Dew said, Fannie and Freddie do set the 'standard' for the loans they will buy. If the standard is lower banks can lend to more people because Fannie and Freddie will buy the loan. If they wouldn't buy the mortgage the interest would be higher.

A lot of people believe the govt put more and more pressure on Fannie on Freddie to lower their standards.

WASHINGTON - Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) said Tuesday it will recall 3.8 million vehicles in the United States, the company's largest-ever U.S. recall, to address problems with a removable floor mat that could cause accelerators to get stuck and lead to a crash. The recall will involve popular models such as the Toyota Camry, the top-selling passenger car in America, and the Toyota Prius, the best-selling gas-electric hybrid.
