How Can Real Estate See a Recovery with Washington 's Bumbling?

This is the first post ever from frustration...Washington needs a wakeup call. They need to stop spending like the bank account has a never ending supply. This is crippling us now and in the future. While we applaud the $8000 first time buyer tax credit, seems to me a $15,000 credit that was proposed for anyone who purchased in calendar year 2009 and an interest rate in the 4's would have brought buyers off the fence. Imagine how this would have trickled down...people buy real estate, sellers and realtors spend money, admin and assistants come back to work, lenders, attorneys, home inspectors, tradesmen all come back to work. We all start going out to dinner again...maybe even buy a new blouse! Yata Yata...

I don't claim to be an expert on Washington or economic policy; but real estate got us into this mess and real estate will bring us out!

Is anyone in Washington listening? NH real estate needs your help.
