The Columbian/democratian spending disease.

.
It's a shame that we're stuck with a paper so bent on the same irresponsibility they've shown with their own money that they need to waste millions of dollars of ours.

It seems in the democratian world, both the democrat people... AND their newspaper, the only way to address any issue is to throw money at it, typically, OUR money... and never THEIRS.

I'm not sure why that is, exactly. It's a proven philosophy of disaster.

At the federal level, it's resulted in a Mt. Everest of debt they've hurled onto the shoulders of future generations with trillions more if they get their way, while they turn the value of the dollar into confetti by printing them as fast as they can mow down the tress.

Locally, it's resulted in an almost lock-step effort on the part of the democratian to throw OUR money at EVERY local problem while they DEFINITELY work to avoid paying anything themselves.

Local efforts include billions in debt they won't have top pay for a bridge replacement we don't need or want, along with loot rail we don't need or want; a ballpark we don't need or want and a federal courthouse, you guessed it... we don't need or want.

And they advocate all of these things without letting us vote... or demanding of those in power that they allow us to vote.

That, of course, is the democrat party meme.

When even a remote likelihood exists that the people will overturn the agenda of the leftist income-redistributionists, they tell us that allowing us the vote, or allowing the will to prevail is somehow a negative.

The democrat party's own rag tells us:

They hope to give rural interests dominance over urban values. They suppose they can make it harder for county government to raise and spend money on social problems and infrastructure capital.

What does that mean?

It means that they believe first, that "urban values" dominate and that's they way they want it and second, that they fear any effort to reduce their power and ability to rip us off, even when accomplished through that bothersome concept they disgrace that's a part of their name:

Democracy.

The democratian, which is, after all, the local mouthpiece for the fringe leftists that infest us, supports their positions.

The trouble with that is obvious.  Their obviously mishandling of their own bankrupt affairs tends to disqualify them from serious consideration over their comments over ours.

They can't even run their own life, I'll be damned if they'll run mine.

We do not need a bridge replacement.

We do not need loot rail.

We do not need a ballpark.

We do not need a federal courthouse. (There's one across the river in Portland)

And what do all these multi-million dollar projects have in common?

Democrat and democratian support.

Neither give a damn where the money comes from.  They just want to extort it from us knowing that the vast majority of them will never have to pay for any of it, because as the rag as shown before, they're amiong the more ignorant who believe that milk actually comes from grocery stores instead of cows.

They don't get it.  And they don't WANT to get it.

Besides the idocy of the federal courthouse plan, the latest example is the continuing silence on the part of the rag, who has yet to express any concern or remorse over the waste of tens of millions of dollars on the unneeded, unwanted bridge replacement project, with tens of millions MORE to come to waste, just like they've never said a thing about the over $400 MILLION wasted on the floating bridge without one shovel of dirt turned. 

It's a disease.  Bankruptcy is the cure.  And it simply cannot come fast enough.
