Question: Why do conservatives call welfare Socialism when a Dem is in office but not when a Republican is in office?

Obama extended unemployment benefits for the 10’s of thousands of workers who got lay offs, is giving tax credits for people to upgrade windows and doors, and is giving a credit for college students to offset some of their tuition cost in exchange for community service, and some how now our country is in full blown SOCIALISM!! according to conservatives. I say move to cuba if you are so unhappy.

Answer: “Why do conservatives call welfare Socialism when a Dem is in office but not when a Republican is in office?”

What are you babbling about? We have always called welfare socialism even when a Republican is in office.

Window shopping 101: features and considerations – from Marvin Windows and Doors

Question: How can I find out about Obama’s rebate program for replacement windows. I live in Florida?

I remember reading that there was a rebate or tax credit for homeowners who install energy saving windows or storm windows.
Come on guys, I’m not here to debate the goods or bads of Obama, I just want an answer to my question.

Answer: If you haven’t installed them, just ask the people you’re buying them from. Some qualify, others don’t.

If you already have them, call the people who installed them and ask if they qualify.

Vinyl Replacement Windows – Tax Savings on Energy Efficient Vinyl Windows

Question: Regarding changes to the $7,500 tax credit, in the 2009 stimulus bill?

This is really confusing and a bit agrivating. My wife and I bought our first house last April so we claimed the $7,500 tax ‘credit’ on our 2008 returns we filed today. We then come to find out, this is not a credit at all but a 0% interest loan! So we are now indebted to the government $7,500.

Icing on the cake is that in the new stimulus signed this month, this tax credit provision will be updated to $8,000 and will NOT have to be repaid for home buyers that qualify for the credit.

Will the revision doing away with the repayment apply to my credit, or am I pretty much screwed?

Answer: You’re NOT getting “screwed.” You got an interest free 15 year signature loan with a 2 year deferment on the first payment. The imputed interest on that is between $7,000 and $8,500. I’ll happily take that off your hands and cover the payments with a $50 kicker for you if you wish!

You are not eligible for the new credit as it applies only to purchases in 2009.

$8000 2009 Tax Credit Expiration COMING SOON!!!

Question: Once new homeowner credit is $15000 how do I get the additional amount over the $7500 I have already received?

What do I have to do in order to get the $15,000 new homeowner credit (if and when it passes) if I have already filed my return and am expecting the $7,500. Is there an amedment I have to accomplish or if the bill is approved will I automatically be sent the difference?

Answer: It’s an if, not a when, it passes. And it wouldn’t necessarily apply to you, would very likely only apply to purchases after it’s passed if it is. If it passes there would be instructions developed on how to claim it if you qualify.
