"The move-up buyer is buying a more expensive product and yet the amount of money being offered [as a credit] is smaller," says Bob Curran, managing...
...America's top military officer has endorsed the President's go-slow approach. "There's been a lot of discussions, a lot of questions and clarifications on exactly what the specifics are, and quite frankly I applaud that," Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Wednesday.
