Two things that would greatly benefit me:

- Environmental clean-up (Dept. of Energy 500 mill and EPA 1 billion)
- $15000 tax break for 1st time home buyers

My industry gets a boost in revenue allowing for much needed projects to go through resulting in more work. Although my division is not feeling the pinch as much as others it will benefit the overall company immensely.

The housing part is the key in my eyes. I just moved back to where I grew up to take a great job offer. Because it was short notice I moved back in with my parents. Certainly less than ideal, but the monetary benefits were needed at the time. I started looking for a decent apartment, but am now holding off to see where the housing portion of the bill ends up.

The housing market around here was already a buyers market, however with the closure of another manufacturing facility (see automotive thread) it is going to becoming even better. So with good credit and a hefty tax break I would probably buy a house as it would probably work out much less than what some people are looking for rent around here.
