A housing building for the homeless. Will it become part of Disney's Tomorrow Land?

Had a few sprinkles this morning. Now 63F at 3:00 PM here in Gresham. Wind west at 7 mph. Humidity 53%.

The Republicans in the Oregon legislature have left the state to keep the Democrats from having a quorum to pass another tax increasing measure adding 20 cents a gallon to gas, and raising the tax on our electric bills. They have already passed other tax raising measures this year including a gross receipts tax on businesses like Walmart. But that's not enough for them. The trouble with Democrats is you can't keep them out of your pocketbook!

82 today WOW I can live with that.Nice breeze too. I can't see all those trillions owed in the USA ever have away to balance the books by tax money.We have to be hit by a solid gold comet,and a shower of hope diamonds. Bert


Ultimately the debt will be resolved as it has been in many other countries with paper currency, by a total collapse of the money! Sad but there is no other way. Getting politicians to do what needs to be done to pay back the debt is harder than trying to get a diabetic old lady not to eat cake!

My grandfather had 20 dollar gold coins.He hid not like paper money.That was when USA had a budget. Day is near Walmart will have you use only its credit card.I use it now.Bert


I use it sometimes. Some places don't want to accept cash anymore. Facebook is trying to develop their own crypto currency called Libra, but it has the government nervous. I would prefer to use gold if anyone would accept it. People think that gold coins would too much weigh down our pockets. But actually with the price of gold now over $1,400 per ounce, the problem is move of making coins small enough to be of use in practical amounts. Budgets are good, but you can't keep a government on one. There is an ancient saying that democracies only last until the people realize they can vote themselves money out of the treasury! I think that is about the point we are at!

Now an ideal 72F here in Gresham, but threat of rain! Overcast. Wind SW at 7 mph. Humidity 58%.

Barry seems to have fizzled.
