You have it backwards.  The government feels entitled to our money.

The Permanent Fund was set aside so the government wouldn't spend all of the money from the people's resources.

The government is supposed to spend their own money.

They get most of the the profit from the sale of our resources.

Currently oil companies are taking 500,000 barrels of our oil from the slope every day.

This is worth $25 Million per day, or $9 Billion per year.

If the legislature can't figure out how to get our fair share of $9 Billion for government spending, that is their problem.

The legislature doesn't feel they have to do anything to change SB21 and actually generate income from our oil resources because they think they have the Alaskan people's huge savings account to use.

They need to be told NO so they will do what the Constitution requires, getting maximum value for our resources.
