The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End (Palin WaPo Op-Ed)
Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 07/13/2009 8:34:34 PM PDT by redk

There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented.

Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:

I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

Best line in her op-ed:

“The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.”

She did the right thing. She can attack and raise money. Our side will need to probably raise $400 million in 2012 to run.

She and others need to push hard that cao & tax will be INFLATIONARY - Big time! Granny’s electric bill will go up and it will filter through the economy on every good and service.

That’s neat to see. I hope Mrs. Palin will do more of this.

This is the path that Reagan took while he was in the wilderness: op-eds, radio spots and speeches.

I expect Sarah to become involved in every area as well as well as been on TV a lot.

“Many states have abundant coal, whose technology is continuously making it into a cleaner energy source. Westerners literally sit on mountains of oil and gas, and every state can consider the possibility of nuclear energy.”

...and she will be in each of them very soon...

God I hope so. I think a little bit of Ann has been rubbing off on Sarah. Love the sarcasm coming from Sarah. I can’t wait til she is unleashed. She isn’t even unleashed yet and she is smacking Obama left and right. Imagine what happens after July 26th, Obama will have to find a bunker to hide in

She can write in plain English!

Who knew that this well dressed in fraudently purchased clothed Alaskan bimbo, who is claiming that she is the mother of her daughter’s child, who skins moose while riding on the tail end of a stupid snowmobile, after sole-handedly vandalizing the state coffers of Alaska, could write in english!

Right, and tax and regress is a very unpopular policy that is a good one for her first shot.
