Fed infrastructure is to a large part counted in any particular states "receiving" rather than sending funds to the Fed., and can you name which of the states has the largest percentage of land OWNED by the federal government?
Alaska has more land "owned" by the feds than probably the whole lower 48 combined. Is it any wonder that Fed. expenses are probably the highest per capita of any state? Further, ANWR, all of it, is federal land, and that's why it isn't drilled, just like Prez Bubba's "nationalizing valuable resources in Utah, and that offshore drilling/exploration is limited by the clown princes in DC.
I appreciate your posts, because it relieves me of much thought refuting them. Dude, you're easy!
Actually she was Governor for 32 months, not 30.
Sarah is the only candidate on the horizon that can actually do...what she says she will do. EAGLES UP SARAH!
BTW, the current Mayor credits the resulting improvements in infrastructure for bringing 10s of thousands of shoppers to Wasilla daily from surrounding areas daily. (according to Wiki). He has no issues with the development.
Half truths are all you have. If there is any truth to your bio, one would expect better.
Why so dishonest?
Troll.
Well, now I understand your unceasing urge for a fight at the drop of a hat. My husband’s family roots are out of Donegal also. The Irish temper is impossible to deal with. I learned a long time ago to just walk away and shake my head. Tend to be bloody chauvinist also.
Let's look at the governors before and after Palin and compare how well *they* did, with the same windfall tax and the same Fed $$$ flowing in.
Cheers!
In 2008, Alaska received some $346 million in federal money.
In absolute terms, that's a drop of warm spit in the bucket, compared to total liabilities of about $6.5 billion.
Cheers!
What a delightful spin that was!
In other words, that Sarah accomplished in half a term as Governor (during which she also ran for VP and had a baby...) ten times what Perry has done in several terms as Governor is no fair measurement.
You got that much right! Stack any other Governor in the History of the Nation up against Sarah Palin and they all look like helpless, drooling imbeciles who haven't the slightest clue what they're doing.
Give it a break. She's a phenomenon. A force of nature. You're a zestuschnaltic. Zestuschnaltic! Admit it. Or not. Either way, you lose.

Go peddle your PDS vomit elsewhere, we already know all yout stupid tricks.
Winkie Touching Clown.

Looks like jla just got pwn3d.
No other state has more of its available land shut down by the Federal government than Alaska. The Feds should be paying Alaska rent on all the land they control.
It's alot like watching lemmings sprint off the cliff into the freezing brine, drag themselves back up onto the rocks, crawl on their yellow bellies back up the escarpment, screw up their misguided sense of 'courage,' and then sprint off the cliff into the freezing brine again.
What fun, huh? I guess it fills the empty hole for those who have no other scintilla of something resembling a life...

Damn this new keyboaed........
Now, let me explain something to you. What she retweeted was not specific to Rick Perry. But a retweet of a link to the article on performances of several governors.
Though what is especially telling, is that you Drones are wetting yourselves over making this out to be a Palin rebuff of Perry when in fact if this were so it would mean Palin is nothing but a lying, two-faced hypocrite. (You know, like you & your white trash cohorts here).
Unless of course you would care to explain how one logically goes from “He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative" to publicly maligning him for increasing Texas' debt.
So, ridgerunner, go sit back down in your corner, close your eyes real tight and keep whispering. 'please Sarah, please be my girlfriend!'.
I’m confused why they include 4 years of alaska’s information, when Sarah was Governor for 2.5 years.
If Alaska is like the rest of the country, those last 1.5 years were worse than the time she was Governor; I would expect her numbers would look even better if they didn’t include the part filled by her successsor during the Obama administration.
It would be interesting to see how much worse Alaska did after she left office.
