Absent the savings, oil payments, or BFD, $8 billion a year is way too big for Alaskan citizens to be able to maintain by paying for it with with personal and tire taxes.  I have heard state governmint would cost each Alaskan $20,000 per year.  What do you think?  Is THIS the "right size" of state governmint?  Probably not considering all will leave immediately and those that remain will pay more than that in taxes for the wrong idea of legislators who believe Alaskans are OBLIGED to forestall all ill effects by paying taxes.  Nothing has the power to stop that.  The oil industry is contracting and will leave eventually.  When that happens the mere "kindness" of legislators who believe in error that they have the power and are obliged to keep the naturally following economic depression from happening will be plain for all to see.  The negative effects of the natural economic results of oil concluding are inevitable.
