Ha! How spinsters spin statistics...

Truth is since '07 - using that as a zero baseline - the only jobs that are above zero, are public sector. Private sector jobs are still in (far into) the red...

In other words, if I'm spinning numbers...if I lose 150,000 jobs, but gain back 15,000, I can say I had 10% growth, or this sector grew by 15,000...when in reality, I'm still at -135,000.

Oregon is eventually going to go bankrupt...and I mean sooner than later...our current tax system (income and property tax reliant), combined with private sector job loss is unsustainable....ESPECIALLY, if you look at spending...state spending since 1991 has essentially doubled every ten years.

It's simple math...ask yourself this...has your personal income doubled every ten years?

If not, then expect to pay more taxes, and more, and more, and more....
