The Senate voted 97-1 to end debate on the measure and clear the way for final approval. The Senate is likely to pass the legislation and send it to the House, where Democratic leaders predicted it would be quickly forwarded to President Barack Obama to be signed into law. The plan would be the first major extension of provisions in Februarys stimulus package. The $8,000 homebuyers tax credit, slated to expire this month, would continue until April 30 and be expanded to include people with higher incomes and some who already own homes. The credit would cost $10 billion, according to Congresss Joint Committee on Taxation. The measure includes $2.4 billion to extend unemployment benefits for as many as 20 weeks, enough to aid the jobless through the holiday season. It would loosen tax rules for homebuilders and other money-losing companies to let them claim an estimated $33 billion in tax refunds this year, according to Joint Committee on Taxation estimates. Senators voted 85-2 on Nov. 2 to advance the legislation. It has been delayed for weeks by Republican demands for votes on amendments to the plan. Lawmakers are still considering whether to extend several other elements of the stimulus package, including subsidies to help the jobless buy health insurance and increased funds for food stamps. Obama has called for sending seniors $250 checks because they wont get a cost-of-living increase next year in their Social Security checks. Michael Mundaca, nominated to be assistant secretary for tax policy at the U.S. Treasury Department, said the administration may seek to extend the interest-subsidized Build America Bonds created as part of the stimulus package. Mundaca told the Finance Committee today the initiative is too successful to allow to go away. The Treasury Department estimates that more than 1.4 million Americans have taken advantage of the homebuyer credit at a cost so far of about $10 billion. Increased Credit The Senate plan would allow homebuyers who have lived in their residence at least five years to receive a $6,500 credit. Couples earning as much as $225,000 a year and individuals earning up to $125,000 would qualify. That is up from the current $75,000 limit for individuals and $150,000 for couples. Those buying homes worth more than $800,000 wouldnt be eligible for the credit. Those who sell their new home or stop using it as their main residence within three years would have to repay the credit. </b> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:12:05 GMT http://www.sandhillsnc.com/living-life-in-the-sandhills-of-nc.html Lord, where do we start.
