Governor Palin and Forward Focused Leadership–Part II

Forward focused leadership is needed, not fiscal myopia focused solely on political expediency. Governor Palin enacted such a vision in Alaska. She cut spending and put money into savings during good financial times, and she realizes that when times are not good cutting spending and addressing entitlements is needed to help keep America from driving off a fiscal cliff.

Governor Palin: “We Don’t Have to Increase the Debt Ceiling in the Next Few Weeks”

It turns my stomach to hear the assumption articulated that “well we have to” despite the fact we’re raking in, the federal government, $6 billion a day. Take that money and service our debt first and pay down some of that debt. Make sure that we’re showing the international financial markets and our lenders that we’re serious about getting our debt and deficit problems under control.

Governor Palin: “It’s Going to Be the Independent Producers, the Explorers that We Want Out there Creating Jobs that are Going to be Hit With an End of Subsidy”

The gas prices have increased 67% since Obama took over and instead of doing everything in his power to decrease those prices by allowing more domestic supply of oil which would translate into obviously more supply of gasoline too, he instead is heading the other direction. He’s over there asking the Saudis and other Arab nations to ramp up production so that we can purchase from them. That makes absolutely no sense because there goes our jobs, our opportunities, our money into foreign lands. We could be having that circulated here and that would boost our economy.

Palin Tells Hannity that Obama “Crammed Down a Nearly Trillion Dollar Useless Stimulus Package that Didn’t Stimulate Anything Except More Debt” (Update)

Part II: “We cannot afford to incur more debt.  Debt is the foundation of destruction.  Look at what’s happened over the years in Germany and Poland and Greece and so many of these other countries.  We just need to look at what has happened to these other countries, learn their lessons, and not repeat it.  Increasing debt in America will just put us on that road that those other countries were already on.”

Governor Palin: “Raising the Debt Limit Just Shows You That There Really Is No True Limit To The Debt that Our Politicians are Willing to Incur”

Well, what the tea party wants is for government to be smaller and smarter. So, you know, when you consider that we just saw an increase in government spending by about 28% and saw a little chip out of that to the tune of 1%, I would say that no, the tea party and Americans in general who are concerned about the fiscal health of our country did not get what they wanted.
