McCain blames Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for starting the housing crisis that led to the economic crisis. The criticism is that they pushed too hard to let people of modest means buy homes.

Which way is it: let them stay in their homes, or these entities triggered the crisis by letting them buy those homes?
