In 1860 the U.S. national debt was $65 million. To put that in perspective, the national debt in 1789, the year George Washington took office, was $77 million. In other words, from 1789 to 1860, the United States spanned the continent, fought two major wars, and began its industrial growth—all the while reducing its na...

Afwan (you're welcome). Briefly, Pianka recommended this as an acceptable means of population control. And he was given a standing ovation. Addendum--the speech was in 2006, not last month.

It is naive to expect the oil industry to do anything else but call for continued subsidies. It's also naive to believe the oil industry can simply pack up and leave. The cost of removing all the production equipment and facilities and 800 miles of pipeline and restoring the environment has to be in the tens of billion...

Dermot Cole thank you I always enjoy your articles. I'm kind of old fashioned and just pay the bills that I make for myself evan when I'm not rolling in money.

Alaska could always follow Puerto Rico's model, with $72 billion debt. This May a $422 million payment on the Government Development Bank debt comes due. Puerto Rico and its public agencies owe another $2 billion in July. Seems the perfect model, gimme, gimme, gimme, just vote Bernie(D), the exact same as Governor Padi...

Nels, you are in denial. While we can cut more, there is no way to cut enough state spending to balance the budget. Like it or not, you are going to have to buck up and pay your share. I guess if you don't like that, you can move to another state where the tax burden is lower than Alaska and where you still get a PF...
