WOW--wonderful answer. So your people get an $8000 tax "credit"--keeping you employed in the real estate market. Where do you suppose that $8000 credit comes from? Ever hear the term paying Peter with Pauls money?
Now--if Obama would just give people a tax credit for hiring an electrician--I might be able to say--"he saved my job too"--LOL!
Funny you should say that.
We just had to hire an electrician to fix a house one of my young couples bought.
So the stimulus helped the electrician too.
When demand collapses, the government has to kick in stimulus. If they don't, deflation develops and a depression is the result.
But the right will attack anything that moves, no matter how good it is for the country.
Wait ... you think inflation is a good thing?
I suggest you do a little reading on how the great depression came about.
The government had to step in to save the country from total economic collapse.
