How come it's not "entitlements and free stuff" when it comes to YOU, Steez?


It's good for the local economy. People spend this money rather than save it and it adds a nice boost to the economy at the end of the year. Cutting those checks in half have contributed to Alaska's current recession. I don't really need the cash, but a family of 5 getting $2,300 per person adds up to $11,500 to spend on Christmas presents and shit and maybe a trip to Hawaii.
