Where'd the ownership society go? |
|
From <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040809-3.html">President's Remarks in Ask President Bush Event</a>: "Policies over the next four years will be to encourage others to own their own home, to expand the home ownership in America. Right now the home-ownership rate is the highest ever. We want more people owning their own home."
I haven't heard anything about George Bush's Ownership Society in quite a while. Increasing home ownership was once one of the key tenents of his domestic policy, do you think that was in any way related to sub-prime mortgage lending? Why aren't progressives capitalizing more on this?

1. BushCo owns us all...that's what he meant. |

They have all our money, they're still trying to get our Social Security, looks like they're about to get lots of our homes. It working out great for the 1%.

2. Home ownership rate is about to plummet... |
|
and of course, it has everything to do with the sub-prime lending practices. Once again the Republicans have created a royal mess that the Democrats have to try and figure a way out of.
