Why not just assume the law will be followed and this gift to the rich will expire as is long overdue?
You must have heard - "Figures don't lie but liars sure can figure."

I have to wonder about those Masters of the Universe up at Wall Street. Everybody panicked because housing sales dropped, what in hell did they expect?

First the tax break moved a lot of buyers to June that might have been planning on waiting. Plus the tax break moved big ticket item sales as well, new house new appliances needed.

CEOs are sitting on a hoard of cash because they feel uncertainty, do they expect potential home buyers to act and differently? Even if you have a job, are you really sure it will be there next month, so you are supposed to rush right out and buy a home.

Whoever the colossal jackass who dreamt up quarterly reporting should have been taken back of the barn and soundly beaten.

Dumpkoffs abound.
