Bush believes in the purity of the markets?

Theoretically, Tax Reform Should Fly (washingtonpost.com)

WaPo claims Bush's policies, including removal of tax breaks for employer purchased healthcare, are based on an enthusiasm for market solutions.

I wonder. Bush has not demonstrated much understanding of economics in the past four years. Assuming it's true however, does Bush understand that markets say some disturbing things about how the disabled should be cared for?

Perhaps Bush's solution to the pension obligations is liberal application of ice floes.
