If you don’t see that Palin is the opposite of a leftist “progressive,” something’s very wrong.
Palin’s first big spending program proposal was based on her own family’s problems. That’s a hint of the future fer sure:
Oct. 24, 2008:
In her first policy address since joining the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin called for parents of special needs children to use federal funding to pick the school of their choice...
Palin also called for full federal funding of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, phasing in an additional $15 billion in funding over five years.
Compare Palin’s goals with President Reagan’s:
During the 1980 presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan dubbed the fledgling Department of Education “President Carter’s new bureaucratic boondoggle.”
