Yay! Senate approved 98 to 0!
Breaking news from CNN:
Lawmakers pass bill extending unemployment benefits by up to 20 weeks. Legislation also extends homebuyer tax credit into next year.
"The closely watched legislation would extend jobless benefits in all states by 14 weeks. Those that live in states with unemployment greater than 8.5% would receive an additional six weeks."
and, more importantly to me personally:
"The legislation also would extend the $8,000 homebuyer tax credit to contracts signed by April 30 and closed by June 30. The controversial credit, which many say has boosted home sales in recent months, was set to expire after Nov. 30."
This will help Keith and me sell our homes!  I was getting nervous about that Nov. 30 deadline.
