Look, home ownership is something better than the welfare system that the Dems run. Again, would you rather promote home ownership, or welfare-state dependency? The program's not perfect, but it's better than the alternative.

If the thing was limited to a 100% tax-credit-based -- or even 90% -- I could abide by it. But my numbers show that over a 10 year period the program is well over 50% socialism and FedGov bureaucracy-building.

This is not something a Republican should be offering.

How about the alternative of no government money. Just lower the tax rates of all who actually pay them rather than stealing the money and giving it to the deadwood.

False choice. I choose neither. Abolish the welfare state and abandon this Bush plan. Promoting home ownership is not a legitimate function of government.
