Politicians have been after the PFD since its formation, nothing new there, but they are closer to getting it if the public doesn't fight back as they used to.
These same politicians are to blame for the devastation to our states' savings over the years, squandered horribly  by them on their pet projects and ignoring the future, incredibly short-sighted. Through their greed and boot-licking of oil industry execs we, the Alaskan public, now pay the price. 
So why is nobody speaking of this issue in these terms? Why are we not discussing the future in terms of savings of our oil wealth, which surely is not finished?! I cannot believe the price of oil will not go up again. Let's begin to look at the mistakes of the past, ignore the blame (I personally blame the Republicans for this debacle), and use that knowledge to forge our future. A future where we need not pay taxes, the government is run from our oil savings, and everyone will enjoy tens of thousands each in annual oil revenue.
