Then there is "Free Market" Frank Murkowski, Rugged Individualist and Governor of Alaska, who 9-21-03 on 60 Minutes argued that the federal government should assume all of the risk of a natural gas pipeline project (18 billion) through Alaska.
So he wants us to pay for a pipeline that will directly benefit every Alaskan in their PFD check. And the rest of american has an 18 billion dollar debt. (Plus more nat gas.)
Instead they should have to pay for that pipeline with their PFD checks. Let's see how well that goes over.
Alaska, huge porkbarrel. Welfare state.
