Like an Arab country, only those born in Alaska should be eligible for dividends. This something that our governor and state legislatures should be working on before the next dividend application period begins. This is our money and I make sense.

Dividend time again. This is money that comes once a year and we need to spend it wisely and buy things we need for subsistence hunting and fishing instead of blowing it on drugs and alcohol.

Wow the dividend is low, but its not what I depend on except for early bonus play money. Wow looking at the debt clock is amazing. 15 Trillion and going going and going. Pathetic. 14 Trillion of it is Mortgage. Thanks stupid banks.
