"Increasing home ownership" is a totally admirable objective for a U.S. President. Any U.S. President.
The tactics used to do so can range from admirable (improving the economy) to criminal (as Frank & Dodd demonstrate).
Just because you and Ol' Dan don't like Bush is not a reason to take him to task for wanting to increase home ownership.
Falling in with the Democrats to do it, though, is objectionable.
Make distinctions, man. Make distinctions.
Which is exactly what Bush did. I'm surprised you didn't get that from my posts or the info on Ol' Dan's page.
Make distinctions, man. Make distinctions.
I would were there any to make...
Yes, but exactly which group of people was Bush trying to help? Mexican illegal aliens or American citizens?
Exactly what was the purpose of the US/Mexico Partnership for Prosperity Agreement?
New Alliance Task Force?
American Dream Down Payment Act?
Why did the Bush Justice Dept. and Treasury Dept. give their blessings to the change in banking regulation to allow banks to accept the Matricula Consular card as ID?
Why did the Bush Administration change the rules to allow banks that served the 'minority' market through international remittances to claim CRA credit?
Why did Bush champion amnesty for Mexican illegal aliens?
Why did the Bush administration claim that national security was a priority and form the TSA and DHS while supposedly fighting a "War on Terrorism", then leave the southern borders wide open by ordering border and interior immigration enforcement to the lowest levels in years?
Why didn't the Bush administration complete the southern border fence despite the signing the appropriations into law?
Just because you and Ol' Dan don't like Bush is not a reason to take him to task for wanting to increase home ownership.
Again, exactly which group was Bush working to help through the above actions? American citizens or his Wall Street Banker buddies and Mexican illegal aliens?
Make distinctions, man. Make distinctions.
Yes, please make distinctions to show how all of Bush's above actions during his first term was done to help American citizens.
