Ignore this troll, wtc911.
I’m not really sure I understand his beef. She has never said that she plans to send energy rebate checks to the American people (although, given all the taxes the feds levy on oil, gasoline/diesel fuel, it doesn’t sound like a bad idea while we are waiting for Sarah to repeal the same :o)
I mean c’mon, the US Constitution has no provisions about natural resources like Alaska’s constitution. And besides, the blog quotes what she plans to do to stimulate the economy regarding energy:
“We need to get this economy moving again, and the real stimulus we’ve been waiting for is domestic energy development. We must reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil by responsibly developing natural resources here. This will provide good paying jobs, reduce our trade deficit, increase federal and state revenue, ensure environmental standards, and actually stimulate our economy without incurring any debt. That’s real stimulus!”
I don’t see anything in there about foisting Alaska’s constitution on America, do you?
How could any conservative be upset with words (which you can be sure Sarah will back up with concrete actions) like that?
GGG - my point is simple - it's easy to balance a budget and have asurplus in Alaska when the state is, essentially a welfare recipient. Alaska gets $1.84 back from the Feds for every $1.00 of tax revenue that it collects. To use the Alaska success as a predictor of similar success in DC is dishonest.
