Comment: I find it almost comical that some people are actually tying to convince the Residents that taking half of the PFD is being done in an effort to SAVE the PFD. The fact of the matter is that the very same Republican led Government that squandered our oil revenue, and placed the state in this position, did so fully intending to try and get their greedy hands on the PFD. There has been no real effort to correct the give away of Alaska's money to non-producing oil companies. This gave them what they have been looking for for years, a way to get at the PFD. Demand side economics says that the more disposable income that each individual household has , the healthier the overall economy will be. Pushing the supply side agenda simply moves the money to the top so it can "trickle down ". It is a scam plain and simple. The only accomplishment will be the theft, once again, of millions of dollars from state residents. Greed motivates this sham of a state Government, and not the economy.
