Bravo ! Excellent assessment of the situation .  The only thing missing is showing how Walker is so obsessed with the gas line , and has been for many years , his judgement is clouded.  If he is going to make all these cuts , why on earth isn't the biggest current drain on the state budget stopped or frozen as well  ?  Walker claims the state can't survive without our PFD yet months ago he wrote a check to Canada for 65 million . Now he wants to put us on the hook for billions for this gas line pie in the sky that doesn't pencil out.      The fact of the matter is all the polling showed Walker would lose again in the primary to Parnell---that's why he turned independent. The polling showed the democrats had zero chance of winning---that's why they quit .   Simply put---Alaskan's didn't want Walker .  They just didn't want Parnell after the media's constant attacks on him.  We got a poor quality governor and that explains why he's doing a pathetic job now. He needs to be recalled. Now !
