Just think of the money you'll save,....... that will now go to more taxes.

I think people get the point, it's about 3 years too late to tell folks how to be frugal with their money. Loss of home and job kind of forced a lot of people into it.

Under Berry Care, why does Oregon have a health care program? I thought after Lord Berry, we'd all be enjoying care free living. I guess loosing that dead weight of a job and annoying house payment is freedom,.... from everything your worked hard for.

Kitz is more fail for Oregon, just a repeat of Ted who was a repeat of Kitz.

Don't forget you get to pump out 4+ kids and teach them to live the same way, then they do the same, etc. all the while blaming everyone else for your short coming in life, how society made you this way, it's everyone's fault but your own, the man is bringing me down, and so on and so fourth.
