Reading the entire interview, Gov. Palin says she thinks the money could be found elsewhere in the budget:
SP: “We have a $3 trillion federal budget and we’re looking at a miniscule amount of money in the grand scheme of things here. And it is a matter of prioritizing the dollars that are already there. Not necessarily asking for more funding, but re-prioritizing dollars that are existing in federal budgets today, and then allowing some of that to trickle down to our states and allow the states to prioritize also according to the needs in our individual states and how they feel best to, to provide services to special needs children.”
BTW, here’s a link to the entire interview:

The one domestic thing I honestly don’t have a problem with funding through school vouchers or something is kids with special needs. 95% of babies with down syndrome are aborted. Families that take this challenge on are most likely not lazy welfare suckers.
I read the entire interview. I think it is a bad move to be talking about a new entitlement spending...not now. The market is going to fall bigtime today...bad day. It will be bad news for folks....
