About all you could do is write your representatives in Congress and the Senate. They are the ones that passed both bills.

I sure wouldn't hold my breath though… there is no way they'll change either program.

I don't fell that it is fair that in 2009 people would get $8000 "Tax Credit" that they DON'T have to pay back. I feel that we should be allowed to keed the money without paying it back, or that those in 2009 should have to pay thiers back as well. Those of us who purchased a home last year helped the economy as much as those who purchased in 2009. If anyone has info please e-mail me at <a href="mailto:KJS7654@cox.net" rel="nofollow">KJS7654@cox.net</a> Thank you!!!

I see a lot of new sales in my area, here in San Diego. That should get the local economy moving a little. But, the national economy is in the hands of a clueless submarine commander.

The figures calculated are probably directionally correct overall. What makes things worse for the agents is that they're not doing 54% less work, or incurring 54% less out of pocket costs. Many pay for system access and certain RE related services out of pocket. With income reduced but expenses holding steady, the reduction in their net income is more pronounced. Many of these agents are also spending significant amounts of time and energy working on short sales. Few of these transactions end up closing and yielding commission $ as many banks are dragging their feet on dealing with problems. The only people who seem to have it worse are the spec builders. Many are being boiled alive as the problems they put off in 2008 by renting out unsold inventory are now snowballing into massive losses.

I have been trying to follow when the next vote comes up, but had not heard anything and was just wondering if you had.

One thing I don't get about Democrats is how they think that a massive, big government that pays for itself by taxing the daylights out of everyone is somehow a good thing. Our founding fathers left England because of an over-taxing king. Our founders didn't even want the government to know how much money people made because they thought that was an invasion of personal privacy rights and they knew it would lead to power grabs by politicians. Too bad our founders are dead and Obama is in the White House! I like Republicans.
