Oregon Has At Least $11.04 Billion In Potential Surpluses of the Taxpayers Money it is not using.

I received this link via email today and since it is new to me and I hadn't heard of this before I felt it would be a good idea to solicit some comments from my fellow Freepers.

Thanks in advance.

Nice numbers, bad logic. Most of those dollars are dedicated dollars. For instance, the unemployment dollars are in a Federal trust fund, dedicated (by Federal law) to payment of unemployment insurance.
