New-home sales in May fell from April to a seasonally adjusted annual sales pace of 300,000, the government said Wednesday. That was the slowest sales pace on records dating back to 1963. And it's the largest monthly drop on record. Sales have now sunk 78 percent from their peak in July 2005.

Analysts were startled by the depth of the sales drop.

"We all knew there would be a housing hangover from the expiration of the tax credit," wrote Mike Larson, real estate and interest rate analyst at Weiss Research. "But this decline takes your breath away."

[emphasis mine]

yet Brad Miller (NC-13) cosponsored a bill (HR-5297) to help builders construct more homes to the tune of 30bil dollars. The market is saying no to more homes.

Brad Miller, pushing failure.

A Win for Brad Miller -- HR 5297 -- Previously HR 5409

If the vote counts are any indication congress has learned nothing from their mistakes. They create a housing bubble and when it deflates they continue pumping. Polifrog addressed this bill when it was known as HR 5409 here.

Today the House of Representatives approved an amendment to H.R. 5297, the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010, offered by Rep. Joe Baca (D-Rialto) and Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC). The amendment, which passed with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 418 - 3, ensures that small and medium sized banks issuing housing production loans to America's home builders are eligible for additional capital under the new Small Business Lending fund the bill creates.

Insanity - doing the same thing expecting different results. Keynesian fail.
