Oregon pulls the same crap every few years. Give us a tax increase or we'll have to close schools, policing, fire dept's and release prisoners.
So, a couple elections later they repeat the threat! Wait, what happened to the taxes we gave you last time to fund the schools, police and fire dept's and jails, you wasted it elsewhere because if you fix those things that are important to us then you couldn't blackmail us over them every few years.
Ever had a wife or brother in law who ALWAYS had money problems? No matter how much money you send them (as you worked two jobs) they never seem to get their finances in order? Why should they, you're keeping them afloat. You could work three jobs and send it all to them and it would be wasted, and he'd still be calling you because his truck broke down again.
But now we have the POTUS and US Senators purposely pulling this crap, little kids will suffer, millions of jobs lost, the environment, can't keep the Mil going, dogs and cats will have flea infestations, etc.
No budgets passed in four years, a trillion in the red every year and they can't afford WH tours and keep parks open. I call BS.
