Countdown to the end of the $8000 tax credit

We are counting down to the end of the $8000 first time homebuyers tax credit. Now the question is : Would the Federal Government end this program just as we are coming into Winter? Would this not kill the economy? Or am I being biased as a Realtor®?

Will they extend it? Will they increase it? Will they offer it to all of us?? :)
