Alaska is a much different state than the rest of the Union. In ’06, the population was about 670,000. Only 3 states have a smaller population. Even Rhode Island tops a million. It’s kind of funny that this small group of folks is taxing the heck out of the oil companies (great incentive for pushing development, environment be damned!) and the rest of us in the lower 48 have the Alaskan welfare passed on to us at the pump.

Actually that’s because it is NOT their own money, therefore they don’t give a damn how they waste it…..they just throw in those scraps of “we saved a dollar here” to pacify us taxpaying peons who refuse to hold them fully accountable.

Just so that you have an idea of my economic policy, I once forfeited the whole whopper and opted for the whopper junior. Not only did I save a lot of money, I saved my ever expanding waistline. However, I did save a lot of money by NOT switching to Geico….you’ll never be able to pin me down on economic policy when I run!!!!

Funny how she talks about vetoing $500 of gross state spending. That is less than 3% of the state spending!
