Bush's clearly stated goal was to promote home ownership so people have a stake in their communities. He was clear. The rats then screwed with the loan processing rules.

There was no hidden agenda. Bush trusted people would act in good faith FAR TOO MUCH. Which pissed me off.

The rest is a history lesson learned the hard way. I hope that's in Bush's upcoming book.

“Bush’s clearly stated goal was to promote home ownership so people have a stake in their communities. He was clear.”

Talk is cheap. The implementation expensive.

“The rats then screwed with the loan processing rules.”

Yes Bush’s regulator was treated very badly in Barny Frank’s committee.
Bad enough as that was, then Bush said NOTHING, which is abrogation of his responsibility to see that the law is obeyed.
You’d expect of Frank what he did — but did you expect that of Bush?

“Bush trusted people would act in good faith FAR TOO MUCH. Which pissed me off.”

Good faith is not enough. Neither Bush, Daddy or W, learned from Reagan — “trust but verify.” That was supposed to have been W’s promise — that he’d be more like RR than Bush41. Remember? Yet this is only one of several areas where he failed. I’m glad you’re pissed off too. Keep that reminder. I have.

“There was no hidden agenda.”

You do not KNOW that.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you TRUST that it is so. What were you saying about trusting FAR TOO MUCH?
The verification for what you are denying is still wanting. There’s a great deal to fear from globalist influence. Money can be used to buy allegiance,
or to spy and then twist arms,
or buy thugs who break arms and more.
Statism is today’s true threat.
