Apparently bills similar to this one died in the Senate before they even got to the President.

Perhaps we need more information here. Is the situation that the dems want to keep the tax credit for homeowners and eliminate the credit for energy companies, while the Bush administration wants to keep the credit for both? Further, I’d like to know a little bit more about the purpose of tax credits for the big oil companies. Is the purpose of the credits to encourage them to develop new energy technologies and resources? If it is, then I think it is in our national interest to do so. I know the left loves to target the big oil companies as the root of all evil; its a favorite emotional game of theirs. Isn’t this more of the same form the democrats? When will they go after the profits of BIG Trail lawyers?

I availed myself of the energy tax credit when I insulated my home, got new windows and installed form backed siding. This program of tax credits was an enormous benefit to me and my 85+ year old home. It was one of the few programs of the Bush Administration which I was in favor of. In addition, for an older inner-tier suburb like West Allis, it is a boom for those of us who want to improve and maintain our older homes. It can be a big incentive for neighborhood revitalization for older housing stock. Also, I suspect, a blessing for small reputable home improvement contractors.

Now after seeing this anyone who is in what is left of the middle class or poor and still even considers voting for the Republican party has got to be brain dead, not that the Democratic party is any better any more.
