Palin: ‘We Shouldn’t Worry About Government Not Having Enough Money’
Elizabeth Holmes reports from Manchester, N.H., on the presidential race.

GOP vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin defended John McCain’s economic plan and the overall tone of the campaign in a feisty interview with WMUR in Manchester, N.H.

During the sit-down Wednesday, the Alaska governor wasn’t her perky self while answering several questions, including a discussion of the current market turmoil.

WMUR anchor Jennifer Vaughn asked about how the Republican ticket would fund its newly proposed initiatives, given the proposals include tax cuts at a time when revenues already are slowing because of economic conditions. McCain proposed a new set of tax cuts this week totaling $52.8 billion, in addition to the $700 billion federal bailout package.

“The economy is slow and revenue is not coming in like it does during good times,” Vaughn said. “How can you really explain how this plan will work?”

“Really?” asked Palin. She went on to explain that revenue shouldn’t be coming into the government at this time. Rather, she said, that money is better spent by the businesses and individuals themselves.

“We shouldn’t worry about government not having enough money. Government’s got plenty of money,” she said. “It’s a matter of how government prioritizes the expenditures of those public dollars.”

5. Yeah, and Reagan proved deficits don't matter.

You know, usually it takes a while after getting into politics before a person becomes corrupt. She managed to do it in record time.

6. Don't worry your pretty little mind about things like money, Sarah.

You can leave that up to Grandpa McSame.

He just really wants you around for your "breasts of fresh air." :eyes:

The woman is a nit wit. And I'm being generous. We all know the First Dude will be calling the shots.

7. God love a Sarah Palin interview.

And thankfully, there has never been a Palin Sr. in the White House, so people won't be able to intentionally overlook her idiocy and excuse it by saying that her last name gives her experience.

8. "Let them eat cake" redux by Sarah Palin.

Could she possibly be more of a dumbass?

I'm sure she'll manage.

about 8,000 people, $22 million in debt.

No big deal, so long as we prioritize.
