 This show, hosted by Tom Becker,  asks whether higher taxes in Oregon on corporations and wealth individuals would help the economy;  whether  the latest healthcare bill is worth supporting; and what  are the political impications of the military's use of the  label  "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder".
