<< Alaska is a special case as they have exploited their natural resources and have a very small population

I hear that every time and say nonsense. Every state has resources. What prevented them from setting up a soverign wealth fund specifically to save some of their states resdource money for th ekids? Nothing, that is what.? Why would population matter?? It is simply a matter of doing it!

We were the only state that actually created a soveign wealth fund and forced the Republican's to save some of our wealth for the next generation.

Texas has tons of oil even now, but they won't create a large government program to put some of the money in a soverign wealth fund for the kids becuse they hate large government.

Why doesn't Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, West virgina or LA take some of their carbon wealth money and do it now???? What is stopping them.

What stopped them in past?

Lack of vision, that is what stopped them. Certainly not population or lackof resources. Where is the logic there?
