Bush, during a speech Wednesday in Albuquerque, praised the program as making the American dream available to all.

He did not mention plans to cut its money.

"Doesn't it make sense to have public policy aimed at helping people own their own home?" Bush told a crowd of about 1,000. "I can't think of a better use of resources."
