Bums, unth generation recipients, lost jobs and lives everywhere......unfortunately, alot of our Military get foodstamps and such too....things are tough all over.
With more long-term projects, new oil fields, lower Fed Tax's, a return of industries from overseas and the military getting better funding, there might be a better tomorrow, here in AK.

Some of the reason may be that Alaska has went from one of the richest states in the union to a state in a constant budget crisis. The Republican party has controlled state politics in Juneau for the most of the last 24 years during this decline. For example the democrats have not had majority control of the state senate since 1978. Democrats have not controlled the state house since 1994. And the last democrat to be governor left office in 2002. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_AlaskaMaybe it's time for a change, republicans have had more than enough opportunity to fix this mess.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Yup. We need a change. Need to get rid of Seaton, Gabby Ledoosh, and Walker for starters.

Oil back above 100$ a barrel would kick start the state, but Im pretty happy were in the 5$ per gallon range at the pumps, rather than the 7.85$ the last 12 or so years......

Coincidentally, I was just talking to Don about cats, dragging, and open doors.

The problem for the state is the numerator... not near as many barrels as there used to be... True that. But Walker's LNG pipeline will fix it all.  I think it's high time Alaska finds other source of revenue, and they can do it without an income or sales tax.
