5. Your tax dollars at work
This for-profit event received $75,000 from state tourism body Travel Oregon and $20,000 from the city of Portland’s Travel Portland. So even if it’s not you chowing down on a $150 dinner of artisan charcuterie, you can feel good knowing you still played an important part in the meal. Just not the part where you get to eat anything.

DO NOT WANT!

But wait...doesn't just putting money out into the economy help everyone? It pays the butchers, the farmers, the cooks, the caterers, the waitstaff, etc. And those people spend that money. It's how to grow the economy! After all, for those that defend the stimulus, this idea is the crux of their position.
