Palin's state reaps the windfall profits McCain decries at the San Francisco Chronicle.



Welcome to the People's Republic of Alaska, where every resident this year will get a $3,200 payout, thanks in no small measure to the efforts of Sarah Palin, the state's Republican governor. That's $22,400 for a family of seven, like Palin's.

 

That's funny.  I thought our economy was doing poorly.  I got a stimulus package of $300 this year.  Every single person in Alaska gets 10 times that much?

 

Alaska has been doing that off-and-on for well over ten years (that I know of). It's their money, they can do with it as they please.

As for "People's Republic", it seems as if some people forget that, yes, this is a Republic. That's Alaska's money; if they see fit to give it back to the populace, good for them.

If you don't like it, move to Alaska and reap the benefits of their natural resources. What are you implying they should do with the money, give it to the Federal government? So they can waste Alaskan money on non-Alaskans? It's funny that you call them the "People's Republic of Alaska" and you're the one implying they should practice the Communistic trait of spreading money to those that live in other parts of the country...
