Mahkayla Sommers catches a pitch during
a home game against Brookings April 2.

Then, like a bolt from the blue (Note: Blue
is the assigned color for the Dems) and with a
slap to the forehead, I was able to see through
the fog of macro-economics and justify this
seeming mega-spending by the govt. with the
following analogy.
Imagine your house is worth $1,880,000
(you owe about $200,000 on the mortgage)
and it desperately needs $10,000 in repairs to
a very leaky roof. You can borrow $10,000
from the bank at near zero percent interest (you
are a very favored customer). Remembering
the repairs are absolutely necessary, would
you take the deal? If you answered “Yes” to
this solution, congratulations! You stand with
Bernie because, it turns out, the value of the
entire USA, lock, stock, and barrel, is estimated
at $188t! Subtract the debt/mortgage of $20t
The 2016 IVHS baseball team has
been off to a rough start. To date the
boys are sitting at 2-10 record with both
wins against Umpqua Valley Christian.
League play started April 12 against
Cascade Christian in Medford, after
deadline. The boys return home to play
Lakeview April 19.
The 2016 Lady Cougar softball
team is also struggling to get wins. The
ladies also own a 2-10 record. Their first
League game also was April 12, against
Cascade Christian in Medford, after
newspaper deadline. Lakeview comes to
town April 19.
Page A-3
2 Cougar grapplers place at state
equals $168t. Bernie wants to dedicate, over
time, $1t for infrastructure, borrowable now at
near- zero percent interest rates. Sounds like
a plan to me, but I’m left of center, i.e. what’s
good for society is good for me, the individual.
(I suspect my friend, a Libertarian, would
say what’s good for the individual is good for
society.)
If you don’t believe America’s
infrastructure is in sore need of help, we’ll
disagree. If you agree that restoring, repairing
or replacing our nation’s worn-out infrastructure
by borrowing 1/168th our net equity, (nearly)
interest-free will mean millions of private-
sector jobs and a certainty of American
competitiveness for a couple generations, then
vote for Bernie in the primary and Democrats
in the national. Remember, two wrongs don’t
make a right but three lefts do. (Thanks, Jim.)
