You need to brush up on your math.

I am 83, I started studying politics in my early 20's protesting the Viet Nam war.

Then I spent 40 years in Alaskan politics as an :" ad hoc Democrat". We took over the House in the 70's and established the "Alaska Permanent" fund with the oil money.

The Republicans hated the idea of a HUGE government program and fought us tooth and nail.

We fought them in a blood in the streets fight and won.

Today there is close to 100 billion in it and it pays for all social services, Alaska has NO state tax, and everyone gets a permanent fund check of around $1,600 a year.

We liberal Democrats did that!!

$1,702
  • According to 3 sources


The 2024 Permanent Fund dividend and energy relief check will total $1,702, the Alaska Department of Revenue said Thursday. This year’s dividend will start being paid on Oct. 3 and will continue to be disbursed in following weeks, the department said.

Wow, if you began studying politics at 10 years old, you're at least 110?

Any thoughts here, if music used to brainwash over the years, and possibly friends or family affected since the 80-90's?

I spent 40 years in politics, and 60 years studying it.
