And she would know. I mean as we all have been repetively told, she can see Russia!!! And when they're down on luck and counting pennies, Palin secretly wiretaps the roundtable discussions on how to miraculously heal the economy, so she knows how to do it. No witch doctors needed.
I know this has been diaried but my response to this is too long for a comment so I went ahead and posted anyway out of sheer frustration. Sue me.
NEW YORK — Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says the United States could be headed for another Great Depression if Congress doesn't act on the financial crisis.
Palin's comments came in an interview Wednesday with "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric.
Asked whether there's a risk of another Great Depression if Congress doesn't approve a $700 billion bailout package, Palin said: "Unfortunately, that is the road that America may find itself on."
Palin said the answer to the financial crisis doesn't necessarily have to be the bailout plan that the Bush administration has proposed, but should be some form of bipartisan action to reform Wall Street.
"Unfortunately, that is the road that America may find itself on."
Right next to that infamous Bridge, Ms Palin?
Palin said the answer to the financial crisis doesn't necessarily have to be the bailout plan that the Bush administration has proposed...
What, exactly, is the bailout plan that Bush proposed?
Blink. Dead Air. Blink again.
...but should be some form of bipartisan action to reform Wall Street.
GENIUS! By golly I think she's got it all solved!
I don't know if i'd rather be gagged now or later. Better yet, Bite Me Sarah. My 19 year old cousin knows more about the economy than you do. She graduated from highschool when she was 16, earned her BA in Business last year while minoring in Economics, and is entering into a Masters program this spring- maybe she should be on the GOP ticket, for Christ's sake. This entire election cycle is turning into a poorly orchestrated circus act with McCain as the Ring Leader, now in jeopardy of being trampled by the damn elephant who is having an identity crisis, believing itself to be a pitbull in a pink tutu.
The economic status as it stands today is not a joke. It is not a line of questioning in a beauty pageant. It is not something that will be resolved in two hours on a friday night during the time the debates are supposed to be held. And evoking lines from a history book about the Great Depression gives me NO reassurance that ANYONE on the Right side knows what the hell they are talking about. But i'm supposed to trust them in office because SHE can see Russia and HE has been alive since the Great Depression itself.
Get a grip America. We have serious work to do. 42 days and counting....
