The cost of federal funding Posted by SubVetPiper

Posted 05/26/09

Living in Alaska gives one a unique perspective of the true cost of states that live on the federal dole.  Alaska receives more money per capita than any state in the union and is standing in line with its hand out for the manna that will be distributed in the "stimulus".  We pay for each dollar with our liberty.

Much of our land is held by the federal government, many of our resources managed by Washington and our education system is bound by cumbersome federal standards.

We need to step away from the trough and start figuring out how to live without federal monies.  A start would be to take control of the lands and resources that our Creator endowed us with, leaving to the fed only those lands that are specifically granted by the constitution.  We also need to invest in ourselves by developing Alaskan resources for the benefit of Alaskans.

For Liberty,
