It is amazing to me how many people think that they automatically deserve a free check from the state and rely on it to make ends meet.  That check is just like a bonus check from your job when the company is doing good and you are doing your part to help the company do good you get a bonus but when it becomes an entitlement that is expected to be given without doing anything it is abuse and the PFD has been abused and misused by not only the government of the Great State of Alaska but by its people because they have fallen into the trap of not having to work for something and have come to expect it like welfare.  People of Alaska it is time to get off your ASSES and become productive once again, quit relying on big brother to always be there covering you ASS as that has been the down fall of all societies since the beginning of time.
