Sorry, but I can’t see Mr. Bush as a “victim” in this mess.

In 2002 (not sure of exact date)he told a cheering Congress,and an approving Public, he wanted to extend the benefits of home ownership to people previously considered “less qualified”. (No, I can’t cite, as I’m doing this from aging memory.)

His “benefit” was not money, but acclaim : something I suspect he wanted badly (typical pol in that respect.)

I never suggested such a thing. Bush knew what was happening and let it slide, some because he felt it was too much trouble to fight Congress and Barney about it, some because he thought maybe he could let it slide past the end of his term. Then when Schumer/Soros triggered it he had a Keynesian spasm and started shoveling money at it just like a Democrat would do.
