As an Alaskan, you should be the last person to talk about subsidies. This back water of yours is a vaccuum cleaner for federeal money!!!

Alaska is treated unequally, receiving far more in federal spending than it pays in taxes.

According to the Tax Foundation, Alaska ranked first in federal spending per capita in 18 of the 25 years from 1981 through 2005. In 2005 Alaskans received $1.84 for every dollar they sent to Washington in taxes.

Alaska should beware. As money vanishes, they wold have to start trapping animals to sell the fur!! LOL!
