text: If you haven't figured it out,  here in Oreygawn,  Democrats have kicked the can down the path to insolvency withPERS for over almost 30 years.  Reining in ObamaCare costs and having a solvent state and local pension system are not going to happen.  Getting elected,  or re-elected,  negates any actions or movement to solve problems in this country.  
  There was zero sincerity in Republican votes to reform ObamaCare as long as President Obama was there to veto any bill that passed.  Having enough votes to pass legislation,  but not enough to over ride a veto,  means that Congress just danced and drank and fiddled,  and kicked the can down the road.  It has been no different in Oregon's Democrat led Legislature for two decades.  Democrat is the self serving party of government,  supporting government,  growing government,  yet under funding government because adequate funding and taxes would mean losing votes and maybe the majority,  so kick the can down the road.  Coward Government.
