Jesse, what I find most fascinating is that so much of the hate displayed here is from so-called conservatives who decry 'socialism' every chance they can get but when it comes to the most absolute of all socialisms, the PFD, they go oingo-boingo!  It's My money, My rightful money! Personally, I hope this fiasco drains Alaska of all these bot flies and if it takes the PFD to go away to accomplish that, bring it.
