This Won't Help the Housing Market

The Democrat Carbon Tax Bill has a provision that forces any home seller to get approval from a new government politbureau to comply with soon-to-be-named "green standards" that are acceptable to Obama. That's right - any home that is going to be sold will have to be retrofitted to be "green" - those standards haven't been named, but they can include anything from energy efficient appliances, lightbulbs, windows, insulation, roofing, solar panels, to envionmentally-friendly carpet, wood, or any other fashion of the day.

I'm sure that's going to do wonders for the struggling home market...
