Rejects reject

Emma has posted an interesting bit on Oregon’s refusing of federal assistance in a few areas…to the tune of twenty-some million. The problem has to do with our legislature being bull-headed egomaniacs who are oblivious to the problems in the state. But read the article, it’s much more eloquent than that, and pretty brief too. You can get a few details at The Oregon Blog, which left my head spinning. There’s some business about the Republican from Lake Oswego and how he feels bad about how the national gumment has gone haywire with spending and doesn’t want to impose on them for a few buck here and there to create jobs and alleviate pain for some people who need it. And then we’d have to match some of the dollars, and you know what a bloat that can put on government, which is too freakin big already mark my word. What an ascetic. Knowing how Lake O’ is the center of neediness in Oregon (well…with all the neediness around it, just not in the chewy middle) and how he can turn away all this dough and the jobs it can create, he really is a giver down to the liver.
