Subsidies, royalty breaks, and tax incentives are 'welfare' for the extraction industries

That corporate welfare accounts for several billion dollars a year in lost revenue

And there's the 'mega-project' providing ongoing handouts to corporate interests and promising massive new payouts



A Natural-Gas Pipeline - $45 billion to $65 billion

Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline at a price tag of $10 billion

Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project - $5.5 billion 

KABATA Knik Arm Bridge - $1 billion

The Ambler Mine Road - 500 million

The Juneau Road - $600 million

And we're still pouring millions into this klunker.

The Kodiak Space Port 
Let it sink in about who is profiting from these welfare programs


Remember the 'promise' of these losers?  We're still paying because of these 'economic dreams'


Healy Clean Coal
Alpetco
Delta Agricultural Project
Seward Grain Terminal
Point McKenzie Agricultural Project

How many billions would we have today if that money had just been invested wisely?
