Big deal. This does nothing and it means nothing.
You just pushed through a $800 million tax hike in the wee hours of the morning.
ALL consumers and small businesses deserve to have their taxes paused for eight years. Eight years of you sucking the lives out of us is what we want back.
Screw this 'tax holiday'. This is not one iota important, much less appreciated.
I still hate you.
It's not the sellers, it's the buyers. A house that has been appraised for $250,000 is fair but then buyers come and get into a price war. That $250 grows to $300 and now the house sells for way over value. A year later the neighbors house goes on the market. It's value should be $250 but because the old neighbor got $300 this house will start at $300. Another price war ensues and it sells for $320. So on and so on. Before you know it you got cute little bungalows selling at mansion prices.
If these buyers would stop, think, and be patient this would end and houses prices will become true again.
@GovPritzker Stop it! You are making more of a fool of yourself with every stupid post. Trump does not preside over Illinois, you do.
And you have made the mess of Illinois. Quit blaming others for your stupidity and greed.
Typical narcissist.
Why would an 80 year old want to borrow money? I'm 69 and am glad not to have any kind of commitment to loans or credit debt.
When I paid off my house a five years ago the banker said, "If you ever want a equity loan come back and see us". I asked why would I want to do that?
Those days are long gone. Thank goodness!
@ronsterd89 Makes no sense. It's a waste of money and more garbage. A cup or glass is used as well as silverware. Then there are the cooking pots and whatnot to prepare a meal. If a person has to wash all that then what is one or more actual plates saving? I don't get it.
@gofishh77 What in the world would make a child behave like this? Never in my life have I seen anything like this. I hope they are both okay after this.
If you work at KFC, this is a starter job for a teen or a job for a retiree just to have something to do, or a stay-at-home mom to earn a little extra income for the family, if they want. Fast food places or jobs that take no skill should not be life-long. Even jobs at grocery stores or Walmart's or clothing stores etc. should not become careers. They take no real skills. These businesses will go right out of business because YOU will not be able to afford to pay the prices and will stop going. It is happening already. Minimum wage is minimum wage for a reason.
@BGVLBJ@Monica55dzrh I know, but there are still set backs. Where I used to live it was one foot. Now I have two feet. You have six inches. Every place is different but nowhere is it allowed to be exactly on someones property.
Of course the Illinois assembly approved the budget. At 4 am on a Sunday so they think we wouldn't notice. And they gave themselves raises bc $128k for 70 days of "work" isn't enough for them. Like I have said many times, the only option in Illinois, is to vote with our feet. Nothing will change in Illinois even with a Republican governor bc of the Democrat supermajority here.
@RepNancyMace What about the ones already here? Or is just gonna be in place going forward?
I know a few grown adults that their parents came here illegally back in the 80's. Are they considered illegal? They should be.
