With the new Oregon State Dollar in place the mass confusion over how it will actually work begins.
Will I be able to opt out of being paid with OSD?
What if my mortgage company is based in another state and the portion of my pay that is USD is not enough to cover my mortgage?
How will this effect my federal taxes? What happens with Oregon State taxes?
What if the town I live in is smaller and does not have a grocery store that accepts OSD and that is all I have left because I had to use my USD portion to pay for my mortgage?
Having so many what if's and alternate scenarios that cannot be accounted for in even the best of planning does not even begin to account for the fact that going to an OSD for even just partial wages could impact the amount of workers in the state. People may leave the state. They may flock to other states that are not requiring partial pay to be in a separate currency than the rest of the US. How would this effect the economy that the OSD is supposed to help?
Still all these questions and very few answers.
