It is not enough to just pay taxes of your paycheck you have to pay taxes off everything this is ridiculous... This is worst than a druglord or a loanshark outside of your house waiting for you to pay him for his loan...

Is people moving house even a good thing? Even if the credit stays restricted to first-time homebuyers, it’s taking customers from people who rent their property.

They must be stopped! After I get my $15,000 tax credit, though. No use being hasty. How dare congress spend my hard-earned tax dollars so wastefully! They must be stopped!

There is probably a balance somewhere we must find, and the Senators pushing this change feel the $8,000 tax credit wasn't enough to find that balance. I don't know if I agree with them, but that's just my opinion as a potential first-time buyer who would like prices to remain low for my own satisfaction (until right after I buy, of course).
