• She calls for increasing government oversight of investment banks also advocating elimination of federal earmarks and wasteful governmental spending.
• She opposed Obama's proposal to introduce a windfall profit tax on oil companies but supports further utilization of natural gas.
• She advocates increased funding for education and supports Senior Benefits Programs for low income older people as she did in Alaska.
• She approves additional tax cuts for businessmen which would rake in more revenue and thus increase more job opportunities.
