Gordon's not going to pass up a chance to give my money away.

What about the people who have bought a house in the last 2 or 3 years? We're too late for the Homebuyer's tax credit, but haven't been in the house long enough for the added tax credit. Are we just screwed because we haven't defaulted or bought a house that we couldn't afford? I guess it sucks for you if you have been a responsible, smart homebuyer.

"Additionally, it will provide a $6,500 credit to new purchasers who have lived in their current residence for five years or more out of the previous eight years."
This I will need to look into more. Does this mean someone who purchased a home in 2003 is now entitled to a 6500 credit?

Geana,
No, I think this means that if you purchase a new home and have lived in the house you now own or you and the bank own, for more thasn 5 years, you would be eligible. This credit now includes current homeowners rather than just first time buyers.

In my opinion these lunatics have been running the asylum in DC far too long. Time to vote the entire lot out of office.

Gordon spends taxpayer money like a drunken sailor. Now comes the great health care scam. Stand by for heavy taxes. Thanks, Bart.

Thank you Driveguy. Seems I would qualify, but if or how it would help me personally remains to be seen at the end of the year when I file my taxes.
"The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act by an overwhelming vote of 403 to 12."
Gordon and 402 others are doing everything they possibly can to relieve homeowners and small businesses. I realize some of you are not struggling, but there are so many more of us who are. It is not only your taxpayer money, but of us who may be getting some help and relief back. We deserve it as much.
Last week employees at my job lost our health insurance coverage after our company being in the red for months. Our job security is very shaky right now at best. Because we are non-profit, we will not be eligible for unemployment benefits, if the company goes under. It is what it is.
Frankly I'm so sick and tired of all parties right now. Sick of watching the division amongst the people. I may be disillusioned and greatly discouraged but I feel if there could be another civil war today, there would be. That's how bad it's becoming.
How about we take party lines out of government entirely and just start nominating and voting for people who will get the job done.
