That ship has passed. Oil production, as well as price, are down. Yes, we should be getting more than we do from our oil, but with both prices and production down we need to start paying for our State ourselves as well. The time to assume we can get someone else to pay for everything has passed. We have $60 Billion...

I'm confused. Steve Lindbeck says at this point his campaign is about Alaska's economy and that we need to diversify. How, exactly, is that a function for Congress?

Corruption is not allowed in "our house," but it's ok on the airwaves? Berkowitz's ad was not only amusing, but is a similar tactic the Jews used to send Jesus to his death. The ad was a lie and its unintended benefit saved the Cap as originally intended and worded. Mayor Berkowitz, Not In Our House!

I disagree. When I hire contractors, I want them to know what they're doing. I want my kids' teachers to have lots of experience. Members of Congress should know what they're doing, too, and you only learn that with experience. If they don't know what they're doing, all they can rely on are unelected staff.
