Hello to all on my first day over ACTIVE RAINing.
I am getting a late start this evening and my pillows are calling me. On my mind tonight as my day closes is that ridiculous bill passed last week offering tax breaks and financial rewards exactly where they should not be. It might be old news to you all by now, but it's my first day here so I'm a little behind. :-)
I am not even the political sort but how hard is it to understand that if anyone needs a break, it is the home SELLERS not buyers! You know, the SELLERS, the ones in hardship, no money, losing their houses? As opposed to the buyers, dancing the "I just screwed my neighbor" dance all the way to closing.
And how about offering some incentives to the builders to stop building new houses and instead renovate some of those delapidated dogs ruining our neighborhoods. The great foreclosures go quickly. But there are those really bad ones that sit for years because the average guy hesitates not knowing what he is getting into. Those houses need experts to get in there and knock it out. Offer the builders an incentive for that.
But as I take the last sips of my mango mojito and drift off into slumber it is the news I heard today that twirls in my head. That President Bush was actually against the bill. Hm. Now I'm confused. Does that mean that it WAS a good idea?
