Isakson is an actual US Senator? You were being kind in only calling him a "complete fool" and a "pandering clown". A small cavil is that "pander" means to offer an enticement to someone other than yourself. "Auto-pandering" is actually theft; a violation of the Eighth Suggestion which used to be important in religious Georgia. Sen. Isakson wants to spend $14 B in $15k increments by sending rebates to homebuyers, in the form of 933,000 little packages of $15,000. That amount of money, in the sale of a $250,000 home would be enough to -- ta da! -- pay a 6% real estate commission! That sorta moves Senator Johnny Clownpander from the well-intentioned fool category to rapacious Viking raider. He could make amends by proposing to fund this program by a 100% tax on commissions on any sale where the rebate applies. Can't the good people of Georgia send a better person to the US Senate? If you will try, I will too.
