Alaska deserves these cuts. They should have been made long ago.  If you live in a remote area it's not the taxpayers role to pay part of your airfare . When I fly to Seattle I don't demand taxpayers give me a cheaper ticket. If you live in remote area's--that's your choice to pay higher costs for everything and live in third world conditions--taxpayers don't owe you sewer and water. Move to where it's reasonable to live. If you house has poor old insulation---that's your job to insulate it better--not the taxpayers. By doing so your utility costs will go down.  If you brought kids into this world--it's your job to take care of them before and after school--not the taxpayers. And how about feeding them too and stop expecting the taxpayers to do your job. If you want to go to college get summer jobs to pay for it .Taxpayers only owe you K-12 , NOT four years of college . Get a student loan--no more taxpayer handouts .  Ask what you can do for your country--not what it can do for you !
