I'm pretty fed up with that empty talking point, 'skin in the game'

The Alaska public has billions of dollars worth of 'skin in the game' already

Most of that is in the form of lost revenue that the Republican legislature continues to hand out in the form of corporate welfare, tax breaks, subsidies and mega-projet pipe dreams of several sorts.

We have so much skin in the game already that billions of public dollars in savings are being burned through to keep the welfare going to prop up the profits of private enterprise.

What we need to do instead of giving the corrupt legislature more of our money is stop them from giving our revenue away faster than we take it in.

If we did that, we wouldn't have a revenue problem.

Skin in the game, indeed, ….losing our skin is the direct result of the problem.

The problem is a corrupt legislature that's handing out our future to prop up the profits for corporations.

Corporations, I might add, that are some of the most profitable in the world
