Should have kept the house buyers credit in stimulus package

[SugaSweet]

It would have been a catalyst to moving the inventory of existing homes and even helped the slowest realty markets.As it is,the $8000 first time home buyers tax credit is not bad,but I would have compromised on the (up to) $15,000 credit for all new home purchases and capped it at $10,000.The construction trades need a boost as much as any other sector of the economy.Before anyone picks up a hammer or a shovel with the new highway and bridges projects,and I think they are a good thing,there will have to be months or years of engineering work done as a prerequisite to providing jobs.

Obama will keep pushing for more stimulus packages over the next 2 years if the first one doesn't produce any results.
