Portland, Oregon is such a disaster, even singer/songwriter John Mellencamp, who boasts of being “as far left as possible,wrote an ode to socialist hell and its failures.
The song “The Eyes of Portland” highlights the homelessness crisis as the city continues to degenerate into misery and violence.

Mellencamp sings:
All these homeless people, where do they come from?
In this land of plenty where nothing is done
To help those who are empty and unable to run
Your tears and prayers won’t help the homeless
Portland residents joined fox and friends and shared how the song resonated with concerned citizens.
“That’s bad enough, isn’t it?” The city of Portland and the state of Oregon are really in crisis right now. And John Mellencamp nailed it with a couple of those lines in the song. I think my favorite is one of those you just said, ‘The land of plenty where nothing gets done,'” resident Bridget Barton said on “Fox and his friends first” Tuesday.

“In Oregon, we only have 4 million plus people. Over the last six or seven years, we’ve committed $4 billion to this crisis. And yet the mayor of Portland freely admits that the problem is 50% worse, not better. It’s 50% worse. It’s a sad commentary on his leadership and the leadership of the state,” Barton added.
