Illinois job growth? Government does all the hiring as private sector shrinks – Wirepoints
Job growth is good, unless it’s the government doing all the hiring. Unfortunately, that’s the situation in Illinois.

It’s easy to say tax revenues increased when the sales tax on gasoline increased due to skyrocketing prices and the doubling of gas taxes plus license plate fees. Remember it’s NEVER a spending problem only a revenue one. Illinois should institute a corruption tax. Revenues would triple.
Inflation, resulting from Biden’s disastrous policies, is driving increases in taxes. Thanks Joe!
