S.2566
February 6, 2008 10:02 PM (11 months ago) | Overall Score: 6.7 | Replies: 0

For those of us experiencing difficulty selling our homes, our senators have just introduced legislation to drive buyers away. S.2566 introduced by Senator Isakson will offer to pay homebuyers $15,000 to buy their home from a builder or a bank instead of from a citizen. While this may be good for the lobbying groups it is a shot in the head to us individual citizens needing to sell a home. Senator Isakson and sponsors want the federal government to pay homebuyers $15,000 not to buy our homes. Incentives for the economy are great but our Senators seem to have forgotten all about us measly citizens. Only lobbying groups count. Is this who I voted for?
