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?

Confusing at best. Strange how some of these things end up evolving. Welcome to Active Rain.

Hi Cin,

Welcome to ACTTIVE RAIN!  It is amazing how the legislative branch can really foul things up.

Welcome to AR!  My pillows are calling me too!  It's hard to tell which way is up and which way is down!  I think it's Washingtons attempt at a quick fix, and it's my experience that those don't work to well!  I think we all need to buck up and weather the storm! The problem wasn't created in a day (or year) and it won't get fixed that soon either!

Hello Cin! Welcome to Active Rain. Yes, it is late and my pillows are calling, though your blog called me to respond. Unfortunately we don't know why the politicians make some of the decisions they do. I guess there are two sides to every coin.

Hi Buddy! I was here and then gone, right? I took some flack at my other site for some of my posts and I just clammed up for a bit, I guess.  Silly, I know.  Plus I was in the middle of a project and you know that my middle name is not "multitask". :-) Don't worry, though, I'll make up for lost time here, shortly.  Lovely to see you!
