"Pleasure Principle" radio episode

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on what he calls the "pleasure principle" -- "the habit of cutting taxes...without knowing or trying to know their budget consequences." He describes the consequences of cutting taxes in Oregon during budget deficits, inlcuding the loss of vital services in order to rebalance the budget. The recession has impacted revenue. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2002-2003.
