Obama to sign bill extending homebuyers credit (AP) – 18 minutes ago WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama on Friday morning will sign a bill that expands a popular homebuyers tax credit and extends unemployment benefits. Congress on Thursday completed work on the $24 billion economic package that seeks to help out the millions who have lost jobs and have been unable to rejoin the workforce. The White House announced Obama's intention to sign the bill shortly after Congress finished the legislation. Under the measure, an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers would be extended for seven months and expanded with a $6,500 credit for some prospective homebuyers who already own homes
Well, I will volunteer to personally deliver the bill to him tonight at dinner if there is no one else who can make the time to get it to him. Of course there will be a charge for my services of, let me see, about $4000.00. That should cover it!!
I wasn't sure where to put this comment. As we wait for our unemployment benefits, there are people at Mt. Hood, TX mourning over the unfortunate incident that took place yesterday. Let's all keep them in ours prayers. Our problems are minimal compared to what they must be going through.
AP is saying Friday morning

ReplyDeleteUnemployed Jersey Girl,
ReplyDeleteApparently they didn't need me to deliver the bill for signature. Maybe my price was too high! :-(
