Government getting out of the way simply means allowing corporations to run wild, pollute the water and air; ship jobs off to Third World nations. Since the late 1970s/early 1980s, productivity has increased while wages have remained flat. Many industrial workers saw their jobs shipped to low wage nations in the 1980s.

Under George W. Bush, the U.S. lost an estimated 1/3 of industrial base economy jobs.

The policies Palin would implement would also revive the same fallout the U.S. experienced with the S&L Crisis, which cost Americans $124.6 billion; of which her buddy McCain can share $3.4 billion of that loss, which was the cost to seize Keating’s company and cover bondholder losses, which themselves ranged from $250 million to $288 million. She would allow people like Michael Milken to run free.

Under Bush II, the nation saw the worst terror attacks on U.S. soil; the Enron, WorldCom and Anderson accounting scandals; tax cuts yet carrying on two wars/occupations, therefore not financing them (Iraq was not even funded through normal appropriations but through supplemental requests) and the worst recession since the Depression.

Many people blame the unions for the loss of America’s manufacturing base. While the unions merit their share of criticism on various points (mainly the ties of certain unions to organized crime), this is another soundbite to justify the abuses of employers. Nike produces many of its shoes in Indonesia, which likely only costs $10 per pair to make. Yet, the American consumer’s cost never goes down; the proof is in the price pudding. Nike shoes cost anywhere from $100-$300 per pair. So, people like Palin and the Tea Partiers need to step away from the whole unions are bad talking point and do some simple shopping and learn that even without American union labor, the cost never decreases; rather, profits and executive salaries increase.

She cannot articulate the depth of any issue; just slogans and platitudes, which just so happen to benefit transnational corporations, not hard working Americans or even small local businesses.

Lastly, here is Sarah Palin in a nutshell:

-Cannot even answer softball questions from Katie Couric as to what she reads to inform herself

-Would not answer questions as asked in debate; went into recited talking points about her job as mayor and governor when that was not the question

-Lied about Obama’s association with Bill Ayers; discredited by both FactCheck.org and by the very paper she was citing to claim Obama “pals around with terrorists.”

-Was awarded LIE OF THE YEAR by PolitiFact for her Death Panels claim

-Calls Obama a charismatic guy with a teleprompter yet has to read off of her hand her three main soundbites or buzzwords; sad when she was speaking to “her people” and likely had the questions in advance; changes reason for Palmgate four times-her dad taught her such technique; poor man’s teleprompter; did it for a reaction; now says God did it, so she should too.

-Thought Afghanistan was a neighboring nation

-Thought VP was actually a legislator; part of caucuses and committees

In 2102, should she run, her ticket will not be cancelled by Barack Obama but rather by her fellow Republicans.

And that’s that.
