We're #3, We're #3


Alas, more evidence of the brilliance of our state economic policy - Oregon is #3 in the nation in home foreclosures. The headline of the article says the foreclosure rate fell, but then you read further and find it actually climbed 20%. The state economist ties it to lack of job growth. No! Really??!! You mean like the person I talked with in the last few weeks who moved his two manufacturing businesses to Nevada because of Measures 66-67? He only took 50-60 jobs with him, but how many others have done the same? Keep it up Oregon and pretty soon we'll have nothing but trees - and weeds, and rusting cars and buildings. A lot like say, Detroit - Michigan, that is.
