Bush speech on home ownership: flashback

[patientlywaiting]

Ray, I ask this question before.

Bush undid many of the Clinton deeds. If the Clinton rules were so bad, Bush had eight years to undo them by executive order.

Bush is a tar-baby. Everything he touches turns into muck.

McCain will be 100 times more fiscally responsible than that imbecile.

Completely agree with your statement. But undoing this would have been political suicide at that point. Bush would have been cast as a racist denying access to minorities.

What I contend is that it was a poorly conceived plan. It only looked at the moment and never looked out to the potential consequences.

I saw this same logic used when Ted Kennedy talked about cutting incentives to Student Loan Providers. His logic was “we’ll take from the student loan providers and create grants for students and it won’t cost the taxpayers money.” It never works that way. Loan providers exited the market cut incentives and both students and the US taxpayer were both worse off

The ideology is off. It is paved with good intentions but it is off. It is not governments role to redistribute wealth.

Oversight for Fannie and Freddie falls on OFHEO headed by Bush appointee James Lockhart. His backgound includes heading a risk management software firm that sold its products to banks, insurance companies, S&L’s, etc. You know, all the folks that are now needing to get bailed out. He also worked in the oil business. One big, happy family that W put together.

When you hear the phrase “deer in the headlights” you only need to watch a replay of Bush last night to understand its meaning.
