If President Obama gets his way, Congress
will approve a new plan to get contractors back to work. The plan would provide
tax incentives for weatherization and home energy-efficiency
projects.
The proposed plan is being called “Cash for
Caulkers.” While the details are still vague, some news outlets are reporting
that the program is part of a larger stimulus plan that would provide funds to
small businesses over a three-year period. It is also being described as a tax
incentive for homeowners. Homeowners can receive tax rebates for taking steps
to make their homes more energy efficient. This would create a selling
opportunity for contractors. They can offer their services and inform
homeowners that they will receive money back from the government for taking
steps to weatherize their homes.
So what do you think? Do
