Sarah Palin – A ‘Cap and Tax’ Road to Economic Disaster

Sarah Palin’s opeD in the Washington Post is creating quite a stir, liberals are squirming to try and attack her again, as yet again they can’t handle the truth. In Palin’s Washington Post opeD, Palin explains what at least some people knew the day the idea of this Crap and Tax bill was mentioned. Heres a snippet from the Palin post:

Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:

I am deeply concerned about President Obama’s cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president’s cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.

There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn’t lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America’s economy.

    She’s right. However, I don’t think our current president gives a damn about tanking the economy. I might even go so far as to say that that is his objective, given his actions, what other conclusion could any logical person think?

    I’m hoping that is all blows up in his face and people actually wake up before it’s too late.
