Perhaps you're trying to make excuses for what she quite clearly wrote. She sees those savings as being available for other government projects. She's still "depriving the taxpayers," just on different things.
Does Sarah Palin actually believe that? No, probably not. If you pressed her on it, she might well retreat from it. I suspect she didn't actually give it much thought, beyond its use as a cheap emotional appeal.
But she did write it, and that's precisely the sort of intellectual carelessness that politicians use to paint themselves into corners. It's exactly the sort of easily-misconstrued comment that's giving Obama fits right now.
It's just an example of how she is not yet ready for the big time. Articles like this are a good way to start ... but only to help her gain the depth she needs. As it stands now, this article merely proves the point that she's not there yet.
You prove my point! - Roads and bridges are the area where we get a bigger bang for our buck from government than from private investment. Your smoke stinks to high heaven.
Please re-read that passage. No where does she say the roads, schools or hospitals have to use tax payers money. These could just as well be private roads, private schools, and private hospitals.
Perhaps your bias is clouding your reading comprehension. She didn't write it, but you thought it.
