I saw an interview today and I think Bush really wants to help people, but he may actually be smart enough to know only a infinitessimal percentage actually deserve help, although I don’t know how you qualify them.
The problem is he can’t shut the door on the idea of government assistance because it’s become a political issue. As if his approval rating could go down anymore. Despite the foreclosure problem being worse than ever, it’s still less than 5% of the population, so his approval rating might actually go up if he does nothing.
