How to make money with the Oregon Trail Card:  Buy the case of 36 bottles of water for $3.49.  The  deposit is $3.60.  Take the water out to the parking lot of  Winco,  and dump out the water and stick the bottles in the bottle return,  get your refund slip,  and go back into the store and get your cash.  Unintended consequences.  Or,  buy the more expensive regular case of water for $3.99 for 24 bottles with your Oregon Trail Card,  and you are out zip and you can get $2.40 and the state can eat the buck and a half.  Do that a few times and you have money enough to buy a pack of cigarettes.  And Oregon will pay itself the sales tax after keeping 30% for administrative costs and sure votes and campaign funding from the rank and file.  Endless fun,  this progressive left wet dream.
