"We must trust Americans with the responsibility of homeownership and empower them to weather turbulent times in housing market. My administration brought together the Hope Now Alliance which is helping many struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure. And Congress can help even more." Bush
"We actually saw a remarkable surge in the proportion of Americas low income families who became homeowners in the last 10 years or so. And I expect were going to see their equity almost completely wiped out, which would be a terrible tragedy for them. There's something like 2 million households going into foreclosure. The rescue packages that have been passed so far will affect about 200,000 of them, it is paltry."
Katherine Newman
The great and powerful rich, propaganda and advertising, that they even convinced lots of poor people that they were right and persuaded them to voluntarily give up some of the few things they had to make them even poorer and the rich even richer.

Editorial: Bush's speech unintentionally captures reality

Changes
Changes in man's society always come from the bottom, not the top--changes in economics, politics, or religion, or the earth--because the top does not want to change; it always wants to be on the top. But if they try to seal the pot to preserve the status quo, they cannot, and the pot will explode and destroy because of the fire. There must be this continual change; otherwise there would be stagnation. There must be this constant circulation or there would be total stagnation and corruption, because that which is at the top is the first to ferment, to sour, to rot, and that which is on the bottom is full of dregs, which if allowed to accumulate would solidify and clot the circulatory process, and that which is on the top would become scum and froth and, as in the brewing of a good beverage, it must be constantly stirred to prevent the settling of the dregs or the accumulation of scum, and to insure the equal distribution of all properties concerned, there must be constant change and constant stirring and constant circulation to prevent stagnation--either by fire or by sword.
