The most striking proposals were for the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans; the “first-ever” ban on price gouging for groceries and food; a cap on prescription drug costs; a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers; and a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.
I bought my first house like 2 years ago, i wish i had this proposed 25k assistance. I want it implemented for other people. I know 2 people who cannot afford to buy a house complain about the proposal
What people don’t realize, is that at some point you will need to sell your house. Wouldn’t it be nice to know you’ll have a higher chance to sell when people have a $25k assistance to help with the buying.
I’m not in the US, so I’m a little detached from this but does the US have an issue with house sales at the moment?
I’ve only heard of buying issues. Why wouldn’t this just increase prices by $25k? That’s precisely what we witnessed in the UK whenever the government offer assistance, there are always buyers so the market swallows up the extra capital and prices increase to offset.
