Mission accomplished.
If Governor Palin had followed the same path as most governors, she would end up spending as much as she did last year, $13.83 billion plus another $1 billion bringing her budget to almost $15 billion.
Governor Palin's fiscally conservative ways would not allow her to do this. She had plenty of opportunities to make excuses and continue on spending money. She knows that attempting to spend money with the price of oil at what it is today is fiscally irresponsible.
...
In the end, the liberals and the folks that call themselves "real fiscal conservatives" can spin, spit, saber rattle, spew and prattle on about Governor Palin not being a real fiscal conservative, but the numbers do not bear out their falsified facts.
When you hear this just point them to the real numbers. Numbers don't lie, but those folks filled with Palin Derangement Syndrome do lie.
Governor Sarah Palin is a fiscal conservative.
((PING))
The new conservative ad in 2012 should be a picture of a terribly messy poopy diaper with Obama’s name on it. The ad should have a byline “It’s time for a real change, now!”
BTTT ! X 3 !!!
she should put the surplus money into gold/silver
If I’m reading this right, these are actual cuts, not “Washington Cuts”.
“Washington Cuts” are not actual cuts. They’re cuts in the amount of increase, e.g. if the previous year’s increase was 10%, and this year’s increase is 8%, that’s a 2% cut.
God I love this woman!
Todd, your one lucky dude!
The whole idea of spending no more than you take in....what’s that!?
“The whole idea of spending no more than you take in....what’s that!?”
Yeah these days that’s just crazy talk! LOL
In fact, spend massively more then we take in and the next generation is going to take in is the conventional wisdom!
“God I love this woman!”
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS TRULY AMAZING!!!!!!
SARAH!!!!!! SARAH!!!!!! SARAH!!!!
She’s been doing wonders in Alaska! Imagine what she’ll do when she gets to DC in 2013!!!!
Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Who cares she is lousy on Illegal immigration /s
Good post, thanks.
And how do you know what HER position is on illegal immigration? All I ever heard her say on her own was that we must secure our borders...now. Everything else she said was on the campaign trail and followed the McCain position.
Did you see the sarcasm tag??
It will be interesting to watch what happens on the veto front which could affect these numbers even more. The lawmakers are scratching their heads trying to figure out what the Guv is gonna do. She's keeping 'em guessing...LOL.
