The pfd runs on a five year average.  It's not toast unless we let the legislature tap it to pay their bills.  It might be pretty low for a few years, but that wouldn't be the first time!  This whole thing has been complete and utter bull crap.

The governor literally took money from the people, then did nothing with it.  It didn't help close the budget gap.  It wasn't used to pay state bills.  It went right back to the permanent fund corporation where it still sits untouched.  

So all that has really happened here is $600 million dollars has been pulled out of circulation in Alaskan economy for this year.  That's it.

It hurts Alaskan businesses and Alaskan families.  For no reason whatsoever.
