In answer to the question by dana. No, government does enough. If the government needs to do anything it is to create jobs. The more people working the less need for people to use a food bank. In the state Oregon, the budget must be balanced every year. If we funded one more program, one more job will be cut to pay for it.

@ Lamplighter. As you know,Oregon almost elected a Republican governor. It was by 1% point that a democrat won, thanks to Multnomah county. Portland gets a big say in who the governor will be, and i.mo. Kitzhaber wasn't the best person for the job and much of Oregon felt the same way. Kitz was already governor once. When he left the first time he said Oregon was 'ungovernable'. For the Portland people to forget that fact and vote him in on their democratic laurels, instead of thinking about what was best for this economy, is maddening. The way these two democrat governors deal with the economy is by making wide sweeping job killing cuts. I hope the unions are happy. I hope they redouble their efforts for food drives.

oh and btw, I am registered democrat, ( I have not changed to independent yet but will) I am also an ex state worker and ex union member, who lost her job due the state balancing it's budget on my back. I have not had to use a food bank yet. Thankfully
