Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 248385" data-attributes="member: 605">Many people point to the Scandinavian Model or Steady State Economy. A brand of socialism they like. They take money from Baltic Sea and northern Atlantic offshore drilling. But they don't spend it all. They also re-invest. Did you know Norway owns minerals in the Bakken? In North Dakota we created a Legacy Fund. The gift that keeps on giving. The idea is to only spend the interest earned. Granted, low rates right now don't make it look all that attractive. But there are stops to investing in things too risky. All that said, look at all the voters wanting to spend every dime in the Legacy Fund.From the Washington Post Perhaps the most significant change the legislation would make is permanently authorizing <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/border-wall-dispute-and-political-dysfunction-has-snagged-even-popular-programs/2019/01/24/3988f2ce-1ff4-11e9-9145-3f74070bbdb9_story.html?utm_term=.48a823c54408" target="_blank">a federal program </a>that funnels offshore drilling revenue to conserve a spread of sites that includes major national parks and wildlife preserves, as well as local baseball diamonds and basketball courts. Authorization for the popular program, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), lapsed months ago due to the partial government shutdown and other disputes. Liberals like the fact that the money allows agencies to set aside land for wildlife habitat. Conservatives like the fact that taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill for it. Does any not recognize this model? We just voted one down in North Dakota. 80% to 20%. </blockquote>
