Alaska is in the best shape financially of any state in the union

It has a lot of oil, a fairly small population, and was not one of the places where the real-estate market had the biggest bubble. But its still facing a budget gap of around $1900 per person for 2010, and maybe half as much for 2011 after having budget problems in 2009. (see sunshinereview.org ) Not the fiscal crisis CA has, but hardly perfection, and essentially irrelevant to the idea you seem to be implying that government should direct more and more of the countries investment, or that we should casually dismiss the problems from massive state spending because Alaska sends out checks from all the money it gets from the oil industry.
