Don't get yourself all twisted up in knots, Ace. What I meant was "real reduction", not some phony reduction in the rate of growth that you RINOs like to quote. My apologies for misplacing the word "real" in the sentence.

Alaska Dept. of Finance, Office of Management & Budget. Have fun and be sure and bring your green eyeshades. We're talking capital + operating (enacted), not all the other extraneous formulaic PF crap. I'll even give you a hint. The FY2007 (Murkowski) actuals are in the 2008 fiscal summary far-left column, etc. etc.

Have fun and do some work. You'll get educated. Til then, feel free to post all the actual numbers from Barack Obama you want. I'll give them their proper due.

All the admitted oil men on this are just ticked off that Sarah yanked their trough away and exposed the corruption in Alaska. Hence all the faux hueing and crying going on in this thread and others.

Thanks for all your concern, Al, but the only thing that’s twisted is your logic.

I did all the research, Al. You have yet to explain away the increase in spending during the brief gubernatorial years of Sarah Palin.

I posted the actual numbers. Why don’t you, Al ?
