Lets remember that a "tax cut" is for people who actually pay taxes. The "cuts" that are in this bill are the expansion of the earned income tax credit. That is liberal bullsheit for the government giveaway for people who earn little to nothing and gov rewards them for having children that they can't afford and give them little incentive to earn more money. Enough of that rant.
"the $5,000 toilet seat"
With all due respect, it is govt specifications that lead to expensive items like this. If I asked you to produce a hammer for me but instead of choosing from one of 20 hammers that are alread on the market the govt wants it to be X weight, made of an alloy consisting A,B,and C metals.... and by the way, we only want 10 of them. If you were the company that had to produce this item, creat the molds, product test... would it be unreasonable to charge the gov $5,000? I think not! There is your $500 hammer.
Foreclosure
The government should NEVER be in the business of paying peoples mortgages for homes they cant afford. We have started down that path and it needs to end now! The housing market needs to unwind just like any other bubble or mania.
25 to 50 years from now, people will look back on this housing craze and say wow people were that dumb to keep buying houses when prices doubled in a four year period? And people who had already owned homes were stupid enough to go out and borrow money on their house based on those artificially high prices and piss the money away leaving themselves in debt for the next 30 years? Wow, what idiots!
