I think many of us are glad we have Walker at the table for us.  To think what would have happened otherwise should really scare you if you think facing the fiscal problem is scary.   Do you think Parnell would have suggested state income taxes after pledging to ALEC?, or cutting his bosses` soon-to-be-a-billion a year oil tax subsidies after ramming SB21 through??, or suggesting we inaugurate an endowment from our savings and investments in the permanent fund to stop the 80% dependence on the oil price dance, and replace it with sustainable draws as was intended from the beginning?  Nope.  Parnell would have done....nothing, but spend our savings and wait for hundred dollar oil "just like Exxon says....", and we all believe Exxon and conoco and BP,... right?
