Governor Sarah Palin again today expressed her serious concerns with President Obama’s proposed stimulus package. In a joint letter sent to Alaska’s congressional delegation, Governor Palin, House Speaker Mike Chenault and Senate President Gary Stevens cautioned that unrestrained spending, initiation of new programs that the states may be asked to continue after the federal stimulus is gone, and the borrowing of hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for it may result in serious economic problems in the future.
“I agree with the decision of Senator Murkowski and Congressman Young to vote NO on the package,” Governor Palin said.
“It’s a given that a stimulus package is needed and will happen,” Palin said. “With guaranteed spending on the table, I am arguing for needed construction projects and tax breaks that will truly stimulate the economy and create jobs, and against increased federal programs that will become a state’s unfunded mandate to continue funding for generations.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
I am so glad she is not tied to McCain anymore. She is soooo much better without him.
Our Gov. here in Florida I think is waiting for a handout grrrr.
But for Sarah she is one of the few governors who has come out with a strong “NO” vote on this spending bill. God bless her!
I hope she continues on this path toward 2012. I think she may be the only conservative that can beat mr hussein. God Bless Her!!
She is wise. She knows that the stimulus package will start programs that the states will have to pay for in the future when the stimulus funding ends.
Sarah Palin doesn’t need phony slogans like Hope, Change, and transparency to make her case. Saying it like it is works just fine for her.
James M., I hope so too, so far so good.
Tom, I agree she has a wisdom that I wish more politicans had, but then she is a conservative. (big smile)
Les,I agree….”Saying it like it is works just fine for her.”
