Bush pushed the “ownership society” pretty hard as well.
Yes he did but later he addressed the little problem of the loans/debt bubble concerning Freddie and Fannie.
When he brought up the bubble and fear about it breaking the banks, Bawney Fwank, the head of the banking committee, stood up on his hind legs, shouted him down as a “wacist!” Bush shut up and slinked off and the media did not cover it. The GOP did not pursue it. They did not even condemn Clinton and Rubin for cooking up a real estate crash even though they knew it was coming. They were afraid of mentioning the truth and being blamed by the banksters for popping that bubble a few years early.
“Partisanship” - honesty or political incorrectness - is beneath the Bushies so he left the GOP holding the bag and then the bubble imploded on his watch. That makes me angry that he let the Dems walk away with such a big lie without saying a word. His flase sense of superiority and manners brought communists under Obama to power and leaves Americans thinking that Clinton was a “moderate” hero who “balanced” the budget.
