Sarah Palin: The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

Sarah Palin: The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

"We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country.

The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business.

Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject the troubling path this country has been taking, Speaker Pelosi has broken her own promises of transparency to ram a health “care” bill through the House of Representatives just before midnight. Why did she push the 2,000 page bill this weekend? Was she perhaps afraid to give her peers and the constituents for whom she works the chance to actually read this monstrous bill carefully, if at all? Was she concerned that Americans might really digest the details of a bill that the Wall Street Journal has called “the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced”?..."

Dems' Healthcare Means Tax Increases

Dems' Healthcare Means Tax Increases

"The federal government has put taxpayers on the hook this year for hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy and pump up the banking sector and auto industry. The out-of-control spending has mortgaged the future with historic debt and diminished present-day opportunities for economic recovery. In addition, there’s widespread frustration and anger about Washington’s policies being directed at Wall Street and hand-picked companies, with little or no relief going to Main Street or the average person.

There’s added insult and injury in pending health care legislation. It would make the typical person worse off due to higher health insurance premiums and tax increases..." Dem's Healthcare Means Tax Increases

If you’re a struggling business owner who can’t afford insurance for your employees, you get taxed. If you use medical devices, you get taxed’ read the entire text here" ...

unemployment 10.2% saved or created or unemployment

Saved or Created or Unemployment from Redstate.com

""Unemployment this morning topped 10.2%, even though the number seeking employment has declined. Many have just given up. Likewise, and more troublesome, the average hours worked in a week is at its lowest in decades — 33 hours. That suggests employers are going to just expand hours worked in the future, instead of hiring new people. So the unemployment number will stay high for a while.

On January 18, 2009, Obama’s top economics advisor Larry Summers said Barack Obama’s stimulus plan would keep unemployment below 10%...." entire Article from Redstate.com

Sarah Palin Responds to VP Biden


As the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above approach to American energy independence. Among other things, my alternative energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top priority in order to meet America’s consumption and security need
