But I won't do it until I hear her advocating some major tough love on the fiscal issues. (entitlements and Wall Street corporate welfare).
I want a budget cutter from hell for President.
That’s fair enough. She does need to come out with convincing specifics when she runs, and I hope we move on to that next phase soon.
But it’s also good to remember that any presidential candidate can roll out any platform they think will sell. As Reagan said, “trust but verify” by their record of character and what they have actually done. Also important is how effectively they can sell their platform directly to the public, because they’re going to need to go beyond the media to win public support for their policies directly.
Same here. After reading in Going Rogue how Sarah Palin approached the state budget in Alaska, I believe she is the best one to tackle the budget. Of course, she’ll need serious help from the House, Senate and the American people.
IMO, there are lots of politicians who would “like” to slash the budget but when push comes to shove, they cave. In Palin, I see someone who doesn’t cave. A media fabricated public opinion doesn’t seem to sway her.
She’s mentioned that she if for eliminating spending, reducing burdensome regulations and cutting taxes. I think that’s a good base to start from. The campaign hasn’t started yet.
