Bore Heaviest Burden
Over two weeks ago, the extreme right wing shut down the
government, wreaking havoc in the lives of everyday people by
jeopardizing crucial business, veterans, health and education ser­
vices.
Tea Party conservatives engineered the current shutdown and
default crisis with a dual purpose in mind - to dismantle the
Affordable Care Act and defund the social safety net.
The black community has borne the heaviest burden in the wake
o f the standoff. Thanks to anti-discriminatory hiring safeguards,

blacks and Latinos make up a larger share of the public workforce,
many of whom were furloughed during this two-week standoff.
Moreover, the unemployment rate in black communities contin­
ues to hover in the double digits. A prolonged government shut­
down would have only exacerbated an already precarious situation
for communities still reeling from the harsh, across the board
sequester cuts imposed earlier this year.
For all of the economic chaos and destruction the shutdown
caused, it has made one thing crystal clear — we need a functioning
government that protects the social safety net. Compromising on
our long-term stability and balancing the budget on the backs of our
community is not an option.

Not in My Backyard
I have heard that people who live in condos cheat on their taxes and
keep money in offshore accounts. I have heard that people who live
in condos hire escorts and own unregistered firearms and snort
cocaine.
I have heard that people who live in condos beat their spouses and
abuse their children. I have heard that people who live in condos eat
bulk supermarket food without paying for it. I have heard that people
who live in condos laugh at comedians whose jokes end in punchlines
about homeless people.
I have heard that people who live in condos hunt homeless people
in the woods for sport on weekends (a most dangerous game). I have
heard that people who live in condos are one huge medical bill or stock
market crash from living in the streets. What kind of neighbors are
these?
I suggest that to protect our friends in the houseless community,
people who live in condos should be relocated to a leaf recycling area
somewhere in northeast Portland, or under a bridge, but definitely not
in my backyard.
