Our 23 year old granddaughter and her husband just brought their first home. Yes, she will take advantage of the $8000 but she thinks it is stupid and would have purchased regardless. Both she and her husband are sick of government give a ways>

Tell your granddaughter I'll happily take that "stupid" 8k off her hands.
Do you disagree with all tax cuts/credits, or just the home buyer credit?
Crack addicts steal from our children? Why wouldn't they steal from adults? Children don't have a lot of money.
momonkey didnt say crack addicts are stealing from the children, he said government does, LIKE a crack addicts who would steal from anyone.

Spending money we dont have does INDEED steal from our children because THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT...

Never stop putting your hand out for your welfare check..
The reason why its stupid is because the granddaughter would have bought a home with or without the $8K "grant", just like I bought another home last year. Do you think people dont need homes to live in?

Did you take your medication? Tax credits directed at consumers create jobs in MEXICO, because there is no control as to where its spent.
Tax credits directed at producers HERE indeed create jobs because companies ARE HERE in order to get the credits. Do you think companies in Mexico and China pay american taxes?
Tax Credits and grants for businesses that create products in the US
Invest in Infrastructure
Nationalize Health Care to free employers of that responsibilty
Credits for green vehicles

Think about the money we are spending, who do you think will someday pay, our kids and grandkids?? Or do you believe in going further and further into debt?

I'm getting welfare checks? They must have the wrong address. Damn post office!

And her granddaughter speaks for all homebuyers? Think, indeed.

Yeah, I was talking to someone at Wal-Mart the other day. She said she prefers driving down to Mexico to buy diapers, but until she can get down there to buy a car, she'll continue shopping at wal-Mart because it's not 1000 miles away. How would she fill her tank, anyway? I don't think even the most economical car can make it from Reno to Mexico on a tank of gas.
