Mia Love on Fox - parents immigrated from Hataii with 10 bucks in their pockets - taught her to work hard, not take handouts.
Wallace asks what happens to people dependent on the programs she is suggesting be cut. Mia says her numbers are just a starting point for discussion. Price of college tuition has increased by 500 percent since the 80’s. Dem’s are calling her a hypocrite because she took advantage of student loans.
Wallace says Dem are accusing Repubs of waging war on women. Mia says under obama, women are worse off. 5.7 million of women out of work. federal govt should let us keep more of our own money - we can buy our own contraceptives. Says “war on women” is a distraction from dealing with the economy. (avoids talking about “choice” issues)
Wallace asks are there times you just need to raise taxes (property taxes increased in her city under her watch) Mia says they cut spending, tied property taxes to public safety only; city is doing quite well now.
She’s coming across quite well. Well spoken and quick on her feet.
Mia Love= Sarah Palin of tomorrow.
