It's really not politics, but economics 101. If Sarah Palin had said that, I would have been very disappointed.
“America’s middle class has been hammered, squeezed and chipped at for a generation now, and it can’t take it much longer,”
True enough. But she has not truly been an advocate for families, but an agitator and an instigator that has supported the very destruction of it.
When we hit a financial crisis I went to Washington to try to work on the bank bailout and bring some transparency and accountability to it,” .
Which is an admission on her part that she supported TARP and a continuation of the stupidity of Dodd/Frank, the Equal Opportunity Lending Laws and the very means that forced the banking industry to make bad loans to people who could never pay them back, inflate housing prices, and enabled folks to live way beyond their means. She is one of the true trouble makers that has helped to destabilize our currency and brought us to the brink of economic collapse.
An auditor for the fed sat in front of a banking committee during the TARP hearings and told a congressman she had no idea where a trillion dollars went.
THAT is what is wrong with what she said.
When she said, “bring some transparency and accountability to it,” I just assumed she meant “expose that the bailout was a bad idea that could be seen for what it was if there had been some accountability and transparency brought to it.
She may have meant something different. As with most politicians, a lot of what she said can be taken to mean whatever the hearer wants it to mean. Actually, she seems to be pretty good at it. I liked her economic lectures. The political stuff, not so much.
