Will the Oregonian Spotlight the Thousands of Vulnerable Oregonians the Shutdown Will Hurt?

In October of 2013 the Oregonian was concerned about what a federal government shutdown would do to thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of "vulnerable Oregonians".


One wonders if the Oregonian is searching out some of the thousands of current vulnerable Oregonians this shutdown will hurt. We'll see if there is a front page story or two with heart tugging photo and personal stories that will be published within the next two weeks. The 2013 shutdown began October 1st and the Oregonian had the above story posted on the 11th.

Could be a good beta version of what a real reduction in government could accomplish!

Yes! But, I rather think the Oregonian will not want to blame Democrats when they shut down resources to the "vulnerable" for political reasons. We'll see.

Those sneaky Democrats carefully planned the "shutdown" to last through Sat and Sun, so nobody would really be affected. Nancy Pelosi was off by a few hundred percent, when she told us that "people will die!".

Interesting that the Dems caved so soon. Guess we won't see if the Oregonian would have shed tears over Democrat actions.

It was over before the O could locate a heart-string to tug.

Yep. Apparently the Dems are even more incompetent than the Republicans.
