Council speak 09/14/08

The council has spoken and the results are up!

In the council voting Wolf Howling's Standing At The Crossroads - Identity Politics, Multiculturalism & The Melting Pot took 1st place with a very impressive vote total. My An exceptional choice was honored as runner up.

In the non-council section of the voting the winner was Don't Confuse Republicans' thrill over the Palin nomination with the Dems' worship of Obama: A reply to Paul Mirengoff at Beldar Blog, a post that was very good, but that I disagreed with. Runners up were:
Real Clear Politics: The Media's 'Due Dilligence'; EU Referendum: The Awkwardness Of Truth ; City Journal: Organizer in Chief and The Anchoress: Over Palin; not "hypocrisy," you never knew us.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Subject: Real Estaate turn around.
A few years back Wash DC was experiencing a decline in population. A $5000 tax
credit was granted to home purchasers and there was a dramatic turn around which reversed the population trend.
A half hearted attempt is now in place with a $7500 tax credit for 1st time home buyers with a re-imposition of $500/year for 15 years. This program is hardly known amoung the general population.
In order to turn the housing market around I think a non-recoverable credit of $15,000 will do what needs to be done in the housing market. This would cost $15 billion if 1 million people bought homes. A lot less than $700 billion. Such a program should be widely advertised. Many fence sitters would jump off and act, especially if a one or two year time limit was included.
