Not-so-sweet: Governor Palin’s Sugar Daddy Takedown

While many of us were probably spending our Saturday afternoon sun-bathing, strolling farmer’s markets, or hiking in the great outdoors, Governor Palin was apparently busy dissecting the failed economic policies of the Obama administration.

Again.

To whet your appetite, here’s a brief excerpt from today’s note:

The same “experts” who got us into this mess are now telling us that the only way out of our debt crisis is to “increase revenue,” but not by creating more jobs and therefore a larger tax base; no, they want to “increase revenue” by raising taxes on job creators who are taxed enough already! As Margaret Thatcher said, “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” That’s where we are now. Hard working taxpayers have been big government’s Sugar Daddy for far too long, and now we’re out of sugar. We don’t want big government, we can’t afford it, and we are unwilling to pay for it.

This debt ceiling debate is the perfect time to do what must be done. We must cut. Yes, I’m for a balanced budget amendment and for enforceable spending caps. But first and foremost we must cut spending, not “strike a deal” that allows politicians to raise more debt! See, Washington is addicted to OPM – Other People’s Money. And like any junkie, they will lie, steal, and cheat to fund their addiction. We must cut them off and cut government down to size.

To paraphrase Hemingway, people go broke slowly and then all at once. We’ve been slowly going broke for years, but now it’s happening all at once as the world’s capital markets are demanding action from us, yet Obama assumes we’ll just go borrow another cup of sugar from some increasingly impatient neighbor. We cannot knock on anyone’s door anymore. And we don’t have any time to wait for Washington to start behaving responsibly. We’ll be Greece before these D.C. politicians’ false promises are over. We must force government to live within its means, just as every business and household does.

Needless to say, I highly suggest you read the entire post on Facebook. It’s particularly hard-hitting and, per the governor’s trademark, quite common-sensical.

Then, when your interest is thoroughly piqued - “I wonder what type of governor she really was…?” - proceed immediately to pre-purchase tickets for The Undefeated film. Invite your friends and rally the quilting club. 

Trust me, this documentary answers more questions than you knew you had. And there are cute home movies too.
