$8,000 for First Time Homeowners

With the new Stimulus Bill, The First Time Homeowner can now receive 10 percent of the Purchase price up to a max of $8,000 credit on their taxes.  This applies only to a first time homeowner that buys from January 1, 2009 to December 1, 2009. 

If you have bought a home from April 9, 2008 to December 31, 2008, that credit is only up to $7,500. 

I recommend that you see a CPA for more information.

If you are think about buying a home please call me at 719-237-0394 or email to jason@theroshekgroup.com

Rush to Pass the Stimulus

I am now completely confused by the actions of the government of the United States of America.  Just last week, our Government Officials postponed the Digital Switch for 4 months, because not everyone in America could get a converter box.  Which America has know for more than 3 years was coming.

Yesterday, Friday February 13th, 2009, our government passed a bill to spend $787 BILLION Dollars that was printed on the Internet so our officials could read all thousand plus pages at 11:00 P.M. Thursday February 12th, 2009, which by Fox Business News reported that not one of our elected officals read the whole thing.

I'm confused, Television wait four more months, Billions and Billions of Dollars passes immediately...What is wrong with this picture... oh wait it is in analog.

New Radio Station by the National Association of Realtors

Milk vs Gas

The other day, my wife noticed that milk prices were about the same as the price of gas per gallon.  Which to I replied yes.  After some further thought I went back and looked at the price of gas back in July of 2008 and compared it to the price of milk.  It was very close indeed.  In fact, gas was $3.59 and milk was around $3.50 per gallon. 

I would love to hear some thoughts on why that is?  I also would like to see if that comparison is close to other regions of the country, like Hawaii, and New York?  So please send me an email and let me know what you think?

Televison beats Economy!!!

Really...Seriously...TV is more important than our economy.  The digital switch that was to happen on February 17, 2009 is now delayed til June 12, 2009.  I am pretty sure that America has had at least 3 years of notice. 

Just a question, come November 2012, will the House of Representatives and the Senate and the President delay the Vote because not all of the people in America knew that we vote for a new President then.  Please tell me that the outcome of the delay will create jobs, or assist the economy.  Please tell me that the officials that I voted against or for are not wasting time on television.  Please tell me that there was nothing more important in the House today to vote on.  Please tell me the United States of America, did not just waste that much money.  

I can hardly wait for Saturday Night Live to make fun of the this.  Oh wait, Nancy and her friends will probably ban that skit.

Really, please tell me what the heck is going on?
