It’s offensive to claim that federal dollars being sent to a state are considered a bailout.
[L]et’s not kid ourselves. ... While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation — and we all know it.
When I saw the direction this was going, you can either say, ‘I don’t like it,’ and not try to help my state, or you can roll up your sleeves.
I don’t actually want the version of the bill I voted for to become law, and I hope that the House undoes some of the damage in the bill that I and my fellow senators did.
