how much of a “loss leader” is this. itsk inda goofy that a tax benefit runs out at a certain point. magine the federal govt saying, get your 2009 return in quickly, up to 30 million in child tax credits available! but only if you spawn before midnight tonight. is this like a best buy coupon or what? how long will the tax credit last. is there any ballpark sense? $200 million doesnt sound liek a big number but then again we’re desensitized to big numbers. 100 home sales is a million dollars, 100 x 10,000, equals 1 million, so this would cover the first (200 x 100) 20,000 home sales after may 1? how many home sales are average per month in CA
