Sorry to break it to you but Alaska has become a welfare/entitlement state. The street smart parasites from Oregon, Washington and even kalifornia have washed up on the shores of Los Anchorage. They have a network that can get a new "resident" signed onto medicaid, child support, this support and that support in a matter of days. I see it routinely. I'm told that the average Anchorage resident has only lived there for THREE years. How do you think the socialist Anchorage mayor mark begich just got elected to the senate from Alaska? Then again we have the yearly give away called the permafund dividend which last year paid out over 15K for a family of five (thanks to SP).
Thanks ~ I was afraid my rash generalization might come back to bite me in the...well, you know!
Let me rephrase ~
I admire anyone who works their butt off ~ especially those trying to better their lives, and ESPECIALLY young parents who love their children.
My son and his family live in Anchorage and they’ve been getting this stipend from the government for a very long time. It wasn’t just since Sarah came on board. It could have been from the time they drilled for oil on the North Slope.
