you are so right it is not welfare at all. And the pfd was suppose to protect that money for us and future generations as well as protect that money from government taking the Alaskan peoples share. So Walker and others taking the money to use for there agendas is totally against what the pfd was formed to accomplish. Also I don't get how we are in so much debt we have tourism, salmon, crab, oil, gold, and now pot all making money for Alaska, where are they spending it all not on schools and roads that for sure.
