The raid on the fund is going to drain it pretty quickly since it only made 1% last year.

Even with this raid on the fund, an income tax, a tire tax, 3x fuel tax there is still not enough to fix the budget.

The government needs $5,000 from every Alaskan.

The only way to fix the budget is to get our fair share of revnue on our oil as Robin Brena explains...

 "Simply requiring the producers to pay us our historic fair share would increase revenues by roughly $3 billion under current conditions"

and how to fix it...

(1) Increase the base rate for the major legacy fields
(2) Eliminate credits
(3) Eliminate loss carryforwards
(4) Eliminate the "new oil" 
5) Increase progressivity.
6) Add the auditing and legal resources necessary
(7) Increase transparency
