Support This Proposed Legislation

Here's some proposed legislation I just heard about that would make enormous strides toward repairing the broken remodeling sector.

It's called the
Home Improvements Revitalize the Economy (HIRE) Act

About the Legislation

In bipartisan legislation, congressmen Henry Johnson (D-GA) and Nathan Deal (R-GA) are sponsoring the Home Improvements Revitalize the Economy (HIRE) Act to provide tax deductions and credits designed to stimulate the purchase of kitchen cabinets and other remodeling and home furnishing improvements. The products would have to be installed in the taxpayer's primary residence, and the credits would apply to existing homes, not new construction.

Cocooning homeowners saved the nation from the recession we are enduring right now after the Dot-Com Bust and 9/11. You can do the same again by making your homes more energy efficient and providing paychecks for a big industry.

Widespread spending on home improvement is a real economy booster.

This proposed legislation may be just the ticket to break the logjam and get our economy moving again now that we know we're not over the cliff.

I suggest you contact your Congressperson today and voice your support for this bill.
