He never moved into the house and sold it the same day he colsed on the house and he purchased another home.

Nice move, but greed caused some people to try that with let's say 5 condos. The lax oversight and subprime loans made the perfect environment so people could do this. Ii know fools who were declaring themsleves millionaires over night. Everybody was getting in the game and it became saturated. When the wheels started coming off those who took the high risk high reward route teeter tottered the damn country.

Why do you think all this was done on subprime loans? Many of these people had regular loans its just that he market went flat and they are now stuck with a bad investment that they cannot sell. I also don't remember Bush running on everyone should own a home.
