On Sep. 7, 2008, the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Under the terms of the rescue, the Treasury has invested billions to cover the companies' losses.
The Fannie and Freddie bailout is separate from the broader $700 billion bailout -- known as the TARP -- and instead comes via the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, passed in July 2008. In February 2009, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said as much as $200 billion in taxpayer money might be put into each company. In December of 2009, the Treasury removed that cap, meaning an unlimited amount of money could be invested.
