I remember the good old days in Alaska, before they started handing out thousands of dollars for every kid anybody that shows up decides to pop out.  Once the "free-money-giveaway-for-every-kid-you-produce"  program was started (PFD), those with nothing to offer and zero ambition started crowding into Alaska, and it has gone downhill since.  

You worked or you starved in Alaska - it was good incentive for people to work or leave.  Much better incentive than "hey, have another kid and we will give you thousands of dollars more EVERY year, every time you breed!".  If we didn't have to spend $2.5 billion annually on providing free social services for those that don't work and never intend to, Alaska's budget wouldn't be in such dire straights.

Just sayin'.....
