This needs to change. For instance, if we are to do something about the crisis in affordable housing, this Department needs to be more responsive to developers seeking to build multi-family projects. We need to be quick with an answer, instead of being quick to pile on more red tape. . . . Once we have put our house in order, we can more effectively implement our agenda at HUD and make the Department a better partner to mortgage brokers and other groups and organizations who share our mission. While I'm here, let me also put in a plug for the President's tax plan.
Tax relief is simple common sense.
It rewards hard work, instead of punishing it. Tax relief will give the economy a much-needed jump start. Under the President's plan, everyone who pays taxes is going to receive a tax break. The President's tax relief plan will allow American families to keep more of their money to meet their priorities. That means that the average American family will get to keep 1,600 dollars more each year.
