It's rather astonishing that a legislator has so little grasp in the way the government works as well as finances.   First,  capping PFD ' S helps our fiscal situation by making that money available to cover expenses.  Second, it allows money to stay invested to produce significant interest gains.    Better than the house plan to simply spend savings, thus reducing our revenue by a few hundred million per year.    Also, the legislature reduces spending, not the governor (don't legislators get a handbook or something explaining how government works).    Walker vetoed spending that was not critical, that's  all he could do.   And no, PFD ' S are not critical.      And finally, Alaskans are not owners who provided investment capital for the PF and are not entitled to a yearly dividend.    It's  nice.  I spend mine but I invested no capital and do not not feel entitled to a dividend.   Nor should you.
