You didn’t show otherwise. You’re quoting from a source from her first year in office, I showed you numbers over all her budgets—of which she got three years through.
I take it you don’t live in a purple or blue state, where sometimes you’ve got to go with the most electable—or the Dems entirely get their way.
And yeah, I wish she’d do more wonk-speak in her appearances, but it is the general principles that she connects with people on—and better than any other conservative pol out there—and her actions are all wonk accomplishment.
I’m not a reality TV/celebrity-type fan, and I’d rather she’d spent her time making less money but working putting out serious policy papers on energy and the global economy at the AEI. I also wish she spoke more clearly and strongly against illegal immigration, rather than cutely, like McCain and most in the GOP do. But I don’t get to micromanage the career paths of our political leaders.
You ought to go and double check your work on her gubernatorial record—and you’ll see that she did more cutting than any of our national-class pols has ever done. She was hugely popular in the voting booth in Wasilla, and grew the town, which is what the residents wanted, by building infrastructure and making it more business friendly.
If you didn’t have some sort of personally-motivated antipathy toward her, you’d see she has a better record of cost-cutting and executive governing than anyone else we have in the national arena.
Now you're just lying. The post showed four years of budgets. You requested that the source links work. By citing one and not digging them all up, I showed you that the numbers were legit. I'm not going to reconstruct the source data for every year for you. It's a waste of my time. Here's why:

Well all you had to do to check was to click my FReeper tag and you would know that I am from a blue State, California. But you see, you are too lazy to do that. So why should I care to research old links for a person who cares more about reinforcing his or her opinion than truth?

Neither Dick Cheyey nor I believe that 'connecting with people' or winning elections renders one qualified to be President.

Spending went up every year. That's what I said. Moreover, she put her town deep into debt... to build a health club. Think about it. That isn't "infrastructure"; it's socialism. Sure it's popular as long as 'somebody else' is paying for it. It is not conservative administration.

Equine feces. BTW, I'm done with you. You're a waste of time.
