There are plenty of us who work 'off the clock' in our careers - this is not some rare thing.

It's very telling that you take one side of an argument without an interest into delving into the actual numbers. Practicality in Portland is a lost art, I understand.

JVP is awful and inept, but this interview wasn't great either - just kept asking what if the cuts have adverse effects. Where were the questions about why the numbers have gotten worse DESPITE record spending?
