Want to know what happens when the Tea Party runs things?

Oregon has two counties—Josephine and Curry—that have steadfastly refused to meet their budgets by taxing themselves. Things are so bad, that Josephine has one law enforcement officer for the entire county! The New York Times reported this week on how crime has escalated quickly and gun sales are through the roof.

And so the inevitable has occurred. To stop the counties from going bankrupt and sliding back into the Middle Ages, the Oregon legislature is going to bail them out. Which means tax payers in the state are actually riding to the rescue. Yep, liberals from places like Portland, Ashland, and Eugene are saving Tea Partiers ... from themselves.

Yay.
