Fannie Mae was created from the New Deal in 1938. It is still in existence today, and it controls half of the United States' $12 trillion mortgage market.
The New Deal was proposed by Franklin Delano Rosevelt because of the Great Depression. It was a complex package of government programs to help the unemployed, reformations of business and financial practices, and finally, a recovery package to help the struggling economy during the Great Depression.
