She’d have to fire almost everyone in DC and start over. She’d have to shut down or gut huge agencies.

Virtually everyone now in DC will fight tooth and nail to keep her out of the WH.
This truly would be a fundamental transformation - back to what we’re supposed to be.

One can imagine the explosion in private sector jobs. Who would be left to oppose her except the corrupt bastards who want their lucrative little kingdoms back.

You are so right! She threatens all of their cash cows and their little fiefdoms.

It certainly would be a fundamental transformation, a step back towards what the Founders had originally envisioned for America.

One of my three points of getting real economic recovery--along with gutting the gutting income tax system to replace it with at minimum the Steve Forbes flat income tax plan and putting an end to the financial shenanigans of Wall Street--is to aggressively audit every Federal, state and local government agency for bureaucratic overlap, agency bloat and excessive regulations and cut the size of government by 30% as soon as possible. We can start by merging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other social service agencies into a singular Department of Social Services, a move that could cut around US$250 to US$350 BILLION per year off the Federal budget.

And it's way overdue; the Federal budget is literally sucking the life out of the US economy in general. And Sarah Palin would be courageous enough to announce such a massive restructuring of the Federal government.
