I get tired of the Chicken Little the sky is falling mentality of Walker and that cadre of legislators who are pushing for a raid on the PFD, a state income tax, and a sales tax. There are still billions in the savings account, and over 54 billion in the fund and oil is up.Walker not cut nearly 3 billion dollars from the Gov spending. He did not pay the tax credits to big oil and claims that as a spending cut. Not so!  He simply deferred payment which means when added to the 2017 credits will double the amount needed to be paid. How is that a cut? 
And cutting everyone's PFD does not amount to a cut of government spending. It is a raid on a fund that was created in part to pay Alaskans for the extraction of their resources. The billion dollars taken from Alaskans did not reduce government spending a whit. Some who post here may not need or care if their PFD is cut in half. But I assure you that there are many rural Alaskans who not only care, they desperately need the cash to live.
