My name is Pamela Stacy , i came across your ad and i decided to place my testimony there, i was some time in search of financial assistance like this before and i tried searching for help all over the website i end up being scammed any time i contact one of all these internet fraudsters until one day i came across a long time friend who introduce me this God fearing Man, Rev. Eustace Mullins and yet i was so skeptical, but i decided to give him a try, My dear then, i was given my loan the third day after applying, my dear my advice for you is, do not get scammed online. If you need an urgent loan, contact this lender at barclayhouseofloan@hotmail.com

You are right, it did pass and those 180,000 people, assuming they close on the homes by September 30, will get the credit. I totally understand your concerns with adding to the defecit, but at the same time it wouldn’t have been fair for those 180,000 buyers who did everything they were supposed to do to get the credit to not get it. It wasn’t their fault their homes didn’t close in a reasonable time. Really, it’s no one’s fault. This is all part of the current economic state. Banks and other lenders are taking more time to look over loans and that is a good thing. I’m not saying it makes it easier, but it should make for better lending practices, which will help us avoid what has happened over the past few years.

On a side notw, Stephanie, did you know that not including these 180,000 individuals, almost 3 million people claimed the tax credit through the homebuyer tax credit program, for a total of $21 billion? Some serious spending!

Thanks for reading.

There are about 180,000 people that met the April 30 deadline, but weren’t able to close by June 30. They just extended the tax credit deadline until September 30. So all those 180,000 people will get their $8000 credit.

Now, let’s multiply 180,000 x $8000 = $1,440,000,000. The government is going to hand out $1,440,000,000. Let’s add that to the $13 trillion we already OWE.

Does anyone know where that money is coming from?

YOU and I are going to pay all of that money back.

Well, there will be one less housing credit being claimed, because I’m not taking it. The government can’t afford it!

Send the government and the banking industry a message. I know I am doing this and maybe even considering legal matters to obtain the credit I was promised back in April.

You are correct! The closing extension passed this afternoon. The vote will now go to the Senate and I have one of Merkley’s staff tracking down exactly when they will look at it. I’m guessing it’s going to be soon considering it would expire tomorrow otherwise.

Here is a link to the update,
