I am not one of the big Bush bashers but I will say that his plan for providing the down payment for home loans to the working poor always was a Bad Idea to me from the beginning.

The government should not subsidize home purchases. It could only inflate home prices.

Of course Bush’s subsidy is only one factor in a huge problem.

Did I foresee this big a problem? No but I was sure that there would be big negatives.

May I offer a slight alteration to your statement: The government should not be in the business of subsidizing anything!!!
