Palin position on the Economy
|
• Sarah Palin sought to spur economic growth and thereby increase energy supplies in Alaska while in office as Governor by supporting drilling in the Alaska Wildlife National refuge.
• She signed a contract with Trans Canada Corp for a natural gas pipeline. She also brought down the tax burden on the Alaskans paying high gas prices by giving a onetime $1200 rebate and repealed the state's 8 cents a gallon gasoline tax.
• Palin says that only with discipline can we foster economic growth and suggested billions of surplus funds to be deposited in state savings.
• She blames predator lenders for coaxing Americans to live beyond their means. In situations where people could afford to buy a $100,000 dollar house, they were forced to buy one for 300,000.
• In conformation with her plans to save for the future she proposed a $7.1 billion savings plan. This she planned to invest in education and transportation sector as well as energy.
• Palin is a firm believer in free market capitalization saying that it encourages best and most competitive projects and ensures a fair democratic process.
• As Alaskan Governor she said she intended to control spending by request and if necessary by veto.
• Sarah Palin believes Cap and Trade will kill the economy and criticized President Obama's plans to curb green house gas emissions saying this will only poleax the US economy.
