That rules out our politicians. I can guarantee you that if we establish a rainy day fund that it will always be raining thus requiring the withdrawal of money from the rainy day fund.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-62051108062782328272010-06-29T15:47:28.549-07:002010-06-29T15:47:28.549-07:00If I remember correctly, government workers make a...If I remember correctly, government workers make about 50k per year and private workers make about 40k per year in Oregon. That is an excellent idea bobkatt. However, the politicians would just vote to steal more of our money for a rainy day fund. I would like to have the government employees fund the rain day fund. They will receive most of the benefits from it.DAVE01noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-69175850974727820282010-06-29T15:22:04.286-07:002010-06-29T15:22:04.286-07:00Do you believe that government workers are paid mo...Do you believe that government workers are paid more than their private industry counterparts?<br /><br />Do you believe that they have above average benefit packages?<br /><br />One solution would be to put a moratorium on all government pay raises for as long as it takes to establish an adequate rainy day fund. This would encourage the government to enact cost cutting measures and limit increased spending. <br /><br />We are in a bad financial situation just as other states and the Federal government is in. We need sacrifices on all levels.Bobkatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388159713103123175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-78070673876284522392010-06-29T14:01:15.228-07:002010-06-29T14:01:15.228-07:00ANON 11:27 AM

It's not running very well right now. I just read obama said the economy was strengthening despite foreboding data and a fresh stock market slump.<br /><br />I think 99% of the idiots running this country are in the twilight zone.DAVE01noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-75199902317872908342010-06-29T11:27:38.311-07:002010-06-29T11:27:38.311-07:00Dave

We need to get someone with a real understanding of economics , and then the balls to follow through. But then again it's Oregon were talking about . the voters got to be smart enough to vote in a way that will help Oregon not hurt it .

Enact an AZ style law that will drive the criminal aliens out. Let's stop rewarding illegal aliens with education of their children which cost us over $750 million dollars a year. Isn't that the $780 million dollars they just stole from the evil rich corporations and rich people? Actually they stole it from my girlfriend's year end bonus who is not rich and will not be able to spend the money on her daughter. She uses that money to buy her daughter Christmas presents. Logic says they just stole money from a 12 year old child. What wonderful people these democrats are who steal from children.<br /><br />Enact E-verify to return the stolen jobs to Americans. More Americans will be off social service support and contributing to the tax base. We can even stop feeding their children during the summer.<br /><br />Simple problem with a simple solution. So simple a caveman could understand it. Liberals can't but a caveman could understand it. That's funny.DAVE01noreply@blogger.com
