The issue with raiding the PFD is simple. If we allow those purse strings to be opened, who will close them once the budget issues are balanced? If you think the sleazy politicians are going to do it, you would be sadly mistaken. 

Once the option is exercised, there will be no stopping it! Any Rep that votes to raid the fund should be replaced by a candidate that is adamantly against using the fund. 

This isn't a vacation fund for my family. It's a fund that will enable our children to attend college without having to go into debt. This is about the future.
