Congratulations fellow non-home owning taxpayers! It appears that we will once again be able to spend our hard earned taxes on something that will have absolutely zero benefit to us! Yay!
I tried. I tried to be a liberal. I've always been a conservative at heart after growing up in an area that was heavily supported by state welfare checks. But I like people and think that everyone having a fair shake in life is a noble cause. And, for some crazy reason, I don't think that the whole world should believe in the same god as me. Which, as we all know, if you don't believe in Rush's god, then you don't belong in the republican party.
But to announce that billions of taxpayer dollars should be spent on tax credits for people who make their home more energy efficient blows my mind. These people already have homes! By no means does that make them rich, but what the hell do I care if someone 5 states away decides to re-insulate their attic next summer? Why does money, given to the government by all taxpayers, need to get spent on a select portion of the rest? We've already given them significant tax breaks when they bought the home. We've already bought and installed energy efficient windows for them in 2009.
Hell, I'd feel better if we were to create a plan where we help people with inefficient homes buy better homes so we can move some homeless people into the old homes. Next time you find yourself complaining about a drafty window, think about how drafty a cardboard box under an overpass must get! [en: I'd feel better, but I'd still be bitchin' about it...]
This plan is not official and was merely a suggestion by POTUS. One who apparently thinks that hiring a handful of illegal immigrant carpenters to install doors made in China so that homeowners are more ready to heave a sigh of contentment is a good way to stimulate the economy.
Still better than George W[MD] Bush!
THIS is whyipaytaxes.

I'd also like to point out: You still have to spend money to earn the tax credit. So those of you who own a home, but are barely hanging onto it? Yeah, no luck for you either.
