text: Dermot Cole, why panic?  The state has over $8 Billion in savings, this money is in place to save the day, should Alaska panic or use the savings?
  
  Many feel the state should use part of the $ 8 Billion in the constitutional Budget Reserve and leave the Permanent Fund alone and stop all these knee jerk reactions to this market manipulation by Saudi Arabia! 
  
  The oil companies gave this money to the state as a rainy day fund, it is raining!!
  
  The Saudis  plan of attack is working, just look at this foolish HB 247!! 
  
  The staged panic will cause bad decisions, that is what they count on!  Saudi Arabia wants everyone and Alaska to shut down or slow oil production! 
  
  This is why the young Saudi Prince Salman flooded the oil markets with a glut to gut Alaska and other foolish producers that fall prey to a old trick! 
  
  HB 247 will devastate the state!
