It is simple logic - we increase the cost of home ownership which will stimulate housing thereby increasing the housing supply which will reduce the cost of housing. Meanwhile the Oregon legislature will confiscate the revenue and throw a PERS party. It works for them. Another blank page of liberal thought.

Oregon's days are numbered. The Oregon legislature's obfuscation of  self serving intent will be exposed by the Federal de-funding of Oregon's expanded Medicare program and the obliteration of Obamacare. Can Oregon and the Dem's fall guys - Wyden and Merkley (and all the other no-name congressman) - survive Trump's  eight year regime? It will be fun to watch!
