Brian, I'm sort of aghast as to why Bush would give the real estate industry yet another tax credit at this stage of the game, rather than the hightech industry (or any other industry) that actually invents something and creates value for our country.

But hey, nothing like encouraging the middle class to buy at the top of a real estate bubble:

Comments from the real estate thread:

...."thats like grating fingers on the chalk board..."

"Excellent, at least the president is in touch with the real economy. We need to get the housing market going, it's obviously in a slump. No clue as to who to get US corporations to hire US workers, so let's direct attention to where it's not needed."

"I think corporate profits are up, but employment is down. Bush wants us all to be carpenters, like Jesus! To build more houses to be flipped. Maybe he also believes houses just go up in value."
