Leo, I wish you had read more of the article you were summarizing. It included important information about how many people had been helped by the tax cut as well as a tax cut for businesses that was also being considered. Also, my hunch is that first-time buyers are getting a larger tax credit as a way to bring more people in to the housing market.
