She comes to office in January of 2013 with three priorities in economic policy. These are restoring the health of the private nonfinancial sector, putting entitlements on a sustainable path, and reversing the trend toward centralization of power.
1. A tax bill eliminates the corporate income tax and the employer portion of the payroll tax. It eliminates the tax deductibility of mortgage interest and employer contributions for health insurance.
2. An entitlement reform bill limits Federal spending on health care and social security to 10 percent of GDP, using these proposals or some equivalent.
3. Obamacare and Dodd-Frank are repealed. In health care, a voucher system is designed to subsidize people who are very poor and/or very ill. FHA, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae will have their maximum loan limits reduced to zero over a period of three years, phasing out those agencies. Financial reform will consist of requiring financial institutions above a certain size to have private partners with substantial personal equity in the institution. Banks operate more safely when they are partnerships than when they are public companies.

Sarah is very good on some issues.I bought her book in which she complains about her "PR guy" who turned out to be playing on his cellphone and not doing the job.It was her job to make sure the people she hired were competent and doing their job and to replace them if needed. Sarah and her team would have gathered more points with many people if she had fought back and took the fight to those filing all those frivolous complaints. Instead the Democrats were successful in forcing her out of office.This will cause many to wonder under what other situations would she "run away". I wish her all success but I really doubt she will ever be elected to lead this nation.
Except, I think that her value as a political commentator may be short lived. If she announces she is not running for 2012, interest in her will wane. If she does run, her value as a commentator will diminish if she does not win. (Or, her paid political commentary and public speaking will cease altogether even if she should win, because then she will actually be POTUS. She would have to wait until she was out of office. I mean, she would have to wait, unless she wanted to risk more ethics charges...)
If she does announce that she is not running in 2012, she would have to leave some impression that she is a viable candidate for 2016, in order to further the paid commentary stuff.
This concludes my unpaid analysis.
Whoa! The commentary following the posted article has me beat by a mile for snarkiness.
