We should take the permanent fund and use it to build the water pipeline to the lower 48. Then reestablish   the dividend. Then the money would go to the people and be a never ending supply of wealth. We should have done this in the 70s but Alaskans were too short-sighted because they had clean water from the tap and thought it was a waste of money. It would only have cost 10 million dollars then, but now it will cost billions.
