DILLSBURG, Pa. -- Asked Tuesday whether she supports the federal subsidy of ethanol, an always critical issue in the presidential nominating cycle, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin went one step further and called for the elimination of all energy subsidies.
"I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated," Palin told RCP during a quick stop at a coffee shop in this picturesque town tucked into the south-central Pennsylvania countryside. "And we need to make sure that we're investing and allowing our businesses to invest in reliable energy products right now that aren't going to necessitate subsidies because, bottom line, we can't afford it."

She’s not running. </sarcasm>
“We’ve got to allow the free market to dictate what’s most efficient and economical for our nation’s economy,” Palin said. “No, at this time, our country can’t afford the subsidies. Before, though, we even start arguing about some of these domestic subsidies that need to be eliminated — should be — we need to look at ending subsidies and loans to foreign countries and their energy production that we’re relying on, like Brazil.”
YES! If I didn’t already have a gorgeous brunette for a wife, I would love this woman!

Combine no subsidies with equal taxation.
For example, in Alaska, only oil & gas properties pay state property tax. Nearly all pay local property taxes, but only one industry pays to the state.

I like it! Saying what few will. She’s actually a conservative. I wonder if she’s running for office? ~sarc
Ahh just posted this...sorry Mike, good job!
It’s all good!
It's about 1 1/2 hour drive from Pittsburgh.
Dang! If I knew she was going to be there, I'd have gone.
You notice, while fair reporters like Scott are gleaning scoop after scoop, Palin had the good sense not to invite any of her detractors at National Review to come and snark at her?

You go, Sarah!
btw, looks like that boy in the black Vets4Sarah tee is packin’. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/05/31/palin_eliminate_all_energy_subsidies.html
now, on Saturday night at 11:47PM Eastern, if Tina Fey goes on the air and announces “I can see ethanol plants from my house!”, will any of the sheeple know that Sarah ever said this?
Whether she’s running or not; she’s saying what needs to be said. :)
Mitt Romney,..... said last week in Iowa that he supports ethanol subsidies.
But Palin differs, saying,..
“We’ve got to allow the free market to dictate what’s most efficient and economical for our nation’s economy. No, at this time, our country can’t afford the subsidies. Before, though, we even start arguing about some of these domestic subsidies that need to be eliminated — should be — we need to look at ending subsidies and loans to foreign countries and their energy production that we’re relying on, like Brazil.”
Love that she mentioned ‘Brazil’...another Bo slap to the jaw. And she is right on about ending loans to other countries. Stopping the borrowing of money from other foreign countries to loan to other foreign countries is insanity!
