Is Paul Ryan's "Path To Prosperity" just an extension of GWB's Home Ownership Society policy, a policy that played a starring role in the crash of 2008? The following is from GWB's acceptance speech to the RNC in 2004. Eerie.
BUSH: Another priority for a new term is to build an ownership society, because ownership brings security and dignity and independence.
Thanks to our policies, home ownership in America is at an all- time high.
(APPLAUSE)
Tonight we set a new goal: 7 million more affordable homes in the next 10 years, so more American families will be able to open the door and say, "Welcome to my home."
(APPLAUSE)
In an ownership society, more people will own their health plans and have the confidence of owning a piece of their retirement.
We'll always keep the promise of Social Security for our older workers.
With the huge baby boom generation approaching retirement, many of our children and grandchildren understandably worry whether Social Security will be there when they need it.
We must strengthen Social Security by allowing younger workers to save some of their taxes in a personal account, a nest egg you can call your own and government can never take away.
(APPLAUSE)
In all these proposals, we seek to provide not just a government program, but a path, a path to greater opportunity, more freedom and more control over your own life.
(APPLAUSE)
