Housing Tax Credit Bill Being Reintroduced

Right now the $8,000 tax credit has first time home buyers house hunting for bargains. But the housing market continues to be little more than sluggish, with rates creeping up in recent weeks causing a decline in mortgage applications.

Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia has reintroducing his $15,000 housing tax credit that has no income limit or first-time homebuyer status requirement.  Business Roundtable in New York adopted this tax credit as its number one suggestion to the U.S. Government as the one thing we can do to turn around the American economy.  Here is Senator Isakson explaining his bill.  (Video runs 5:43)
