The "up coming housing bubble burst"?Oh my fault, it was October 9, 2008 that Bush warned of the up coming housing bubble burst. The democrats, who controlled both houses ignored him.Yes and that was a fault of his, but he did see the error of this policy, and warned about it in 2006.And in 2006 Bush did the same.
"America is a stronger country every single time a family moves into a home of their own," he said in October 2004. To achieve his vision, Bush pushed new policies encouraging homeownership, like the "zero-down-payment initiative," which was much as it sounds—a government-sponsored program that allowed people to get mortgages without a down payment. More exotic mortgages followed, including ones with no monthly payments for the first two years. Other mortgages required no documentation other than the say-so of the borrower. Absurd though these all were, they paled in comparison to the financial innovations that grew out of the mortgages—derivatives built on other derivatives, packaged and repackaged until no one could identify what they contained and how much they were, in fact, worth.
