it was all about the housing bubble created by low income mortgages. read up. Acorn.The housing policy, relaxing loan standards for low income people, allowed people who really could not afford the loans to get the loans anyway. This is one thing that lead to the housing bubble. Tax cuts.....No, they did not. That being said, lower taxes would help a family to afford that house payment.
Interesting you say that because household debt skyrocketed immediately after the Bush Tax Cuts. So, no, tax cuts did not help a family afford a house payment. All the Bush Tax Cuts did was push people into debt.
But why would Bush tie his tax policy to the housing market?
If you believe that tax cuts created the housing bubble, then you should also believe that higher taxes would have prevented the housing bubble.
They probably would have. But that's really beside the point. It's Bush who tied his tax cuts to his housing policy. So if it had nothing to do with the housing bubble, why did Bush tie the two together?
