... She believes the entire legitimate purpose of government to consist of three things: public safety, infrastructure, and education. She says this twice with emphasis.

Her political battles have literally been "in the dumps". When in Wasilla council, she went against the local trash king. Her background is LOCAL and state goverment. She had to keep the roads clear, and the pot holes filled. In the end, Tip O'Neill said it right, "all politics is local".

She will be looking to downsize the creation of the DC and decentralize it, IMO. Schools are a local problem, as are those things noted. She is speaking of her actual feet-on-the-ground (and in the Co-pilots seat) experience, not platitudes with gilt edges.

I pray they disband all the spurious Departments except the Was Department. UPS and FedEx can bid on the mail delivery! We can hire those gum't suckers to replace the Mexicans for casual labor. They're not good for much else (ducking)!

“Her background is LOCAL and state goverment.”

Yes, I know, but I do not agree education and infrastructure are government funcitons at any level.

She has and lives by strong principles, most important possibly her honesty and openness in everything, and a strong belief in small government. Still, I’d like to see the principles of a free market and individual liberty emphasized more.
