State Capitalism

Contradiction of Terms

I don't understand, said the old squirrel.  How did we get into this state of affairs whereby the government is bailing out Banks, and Big Business, and the rich suits who ran it all into the ground continue to be in charge.  Unfettered capitalism with the keys to the public treasury isn't what our founding fathers had in mind I don't think.

Bail Out

Bail out my squirrels

If we bail out these rich folks who run these companies.  This old squirrel needs some of that, don't they know there hasn't been any cone production from the spruce trees.  

Electric Cost in Alaska

Oklahoma residential customers generally pay between 7.7-cents and 8.5-cents per kilowatt hour for electricity, among the lowest in the nation.

A North Pole Alaska residential customer pays $200.83 in energy and fuel adjustment charges for 991 KWH used. Which works out to .202 cents per kilowatt hour. Not counting additional customer charges. According to the last bill.

We live 450 miles from some of the largest known gas reserves in the world. Shame on Alaskan Politicians for letting things get to this point. Those in office and those in past office. Shame on the Board of Directors of Golden Valley for not having the foresight to tap those reserves with the States blessing. Let us have the resources promised by the constitution for the good of the people now.

Wake up Alaska
