“ACES was a reasonable response to a deeply corrupt political culture”
Were there any alternatives to ACES? I like Sarah, but I think that she may have made a mistake there.
I am assuming you mean proposed alternatives, as there are always other choices that could be made.
At the time, there were many different plans being proposed; but Palin fever at the time over-ran common sense.
At the time it was put in place, for every additional dollar in price, about 90¢ of that went to government. It was insane under any type of reasoned analysis.
