Merkley Bill Offers $50K Match for 1st-Time Homebuyers. Cosponsored by fellow Oregon Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden, the government would contribute $5 for every $1 an eligible buyer saves, with federal contributions capped at $50,000. What’s wrong with this picture? If you’ve been through one or more home-buying exercises, you know the answer to success in this area is payin’ attention in school, learnin’ a trade that’ll lead to gainful employment, and making sound financial decisions. NOT takin’ on the life-crushin’ burden of a student loan to pay for a degree in South American Tree Frog studies, and expectin’ the government to give you 50,000 taxpayer dollars to get you in the door of your first home. I’ll guaran-f⚡⭐⚡in’-tee you that every – and I mean EVERY – bum sleepin’ under a bridge, or askin’ you for spare change while you’re stuck in traffic tryin’ to get to work, failed at one or more of those basic principles, or they wouldn’t be where they are today. Both of Oregon’s senators excel at takin’ money from hard-workin’ taxpayers so they can give it away to people who wanna have somebody else take care of them. QUIT ELECTIN’ DEMOCRATS!!!
