Bullshiat, let the housing prices fall to an affordable level, the reason people aren’t buying is because they can’t afford the damn things anymore.

WTF. My family got locked out of the market in our area due to artificially inflated prices. Why should we be forced to pay others to continue propping up those price levels?

Last time I checked, and I could be wrong here, Congress doesn’t manufactur products, produce goods and services, or grow crops or mine commodities for sale and income.
Just WHOSE money are they talking about when Congress decides to give a rebate to home buyers?
It had better not be mine.

What about those of us who have already bought houses and paid them off? This is idiocy!

This is just more self stimulus that will prove to be economically just as empty of fulfillment. We would be just as well off to insist that homeowners get a large cash advance on their own credit cards.

Discrimination against existing home owners.

Johnny is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and he made his $$ in real estate in the Atlanta area. A very feeble idea. Politician cannot see the error of their ways - just a few years ago they were promoting home ownership to anyone who could fog a mirror. This was a big part of the problem. So here comes Johnny - stepping in it once again.

So who will end up truly owning “your” house? The bank or the government?
Not that it’s easy to tell the difference anymore...

Ugh. Congress should just let the market self-correct and keep their noses out of it!

My neighbor and I am going to buy each other’s house and make $15K a piece whoopie!
To: ConservativeMind
Correct.
This is a BAD idea.
I can’t find anything in Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America that gives Congress the power to use my money to try to increase the number of people buying houses in the country.
Can someone help me out, here?

I was just thinking that I wouldn’t mind picking up a $15K worth of land with a fishing/hunting cabin somewhere.

I say he could do better.
Why not give everybody a bajillion dollars!
Yeah! That's the ticket!
To: theBuckwheat
We would be just as well off to insist that homeowners get a large cash advance on their own credit cards. What the Congress wants is tantamount to issuing you a credit card, taking a large cash advance on it, giving the cash to someone else, and leaving you stuck to pay the bill.
