text: Ms. Troll, I have never read any ISER report, seen a video, nor listened to any ISER representative say cutting Alaska's state budget will result in massive job losses.  I have heard, seen and read where they said, cutting the PFD is the absolutely worst thing government can do to solve this crisis.  I have heard them say that cutting government jobs is not the answer, either.  We have $9+/- billion in the Earnings Reserve (ER), up from $6.91 billion in 2015 (even with low oil prices), which the legislature can access with a simple 2/3 vote.  As ISER has said, with managed budget reductions over 3-5 years, and use of the ER to fill the $2-3 billion gaps during that process, Alaska will be in the black again.  Since the International Energy Agency is forecasting $80/bbl oil by 2021, the crisis is averted.  Not only that, we won't send another 12-15,000 Alaskans below the poverty level, nor will we severely weaken government.
