WSJ on Gov Sarah Palin: Sound Political & Economic Instincts, Sophisticated Knowledge of Monetary Policy...This Side of Rep Paul Ryan

It would be hard to find two more unlikely intellectual comrades than Robert Zoellick, the World Bank technocrat, and Sarah Palin, the populist conservative politician. But in separate interventions yesterday, the pair roiled the global monetary debate in complementary and timely fashion.

The former Alaskan Governor showed sound political and economic instincts by inveighing forcefully against the Federal Reserve's latest round of quantitative easing. According to the prepared text of remarks that she released to National Review online, Mrs. Palin also exhibited a more sophisticated knowledge of monetary policy than any major Republican this side of Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan.

Stressing the risks of Fed "pump priming," Mrs. Palin zeroed in on the connection between a "weak dollar—a direct result of the Fed's decision to dump more dollars onto the market"—and rising oil and food prices. She also noted the rising world alarm about the Fed's actions, which by now includes blunt comments by Germany, Brazil, China and most of Asia, among many others MORE.........

....And, who'd know better, than The Queen of The Welfare State??!!!

"Alaska is darker in winter, colder all year and less densely populated than any other state. Alaskans are unique, too: They enjoy a higher level of per capita federal $pending than anyone else in the union, as well as a state constitution that they think allows them to defy the Supreme Court. Yet for all of its anomalies - or perhaps because of them - Alaska's current electoral morass might well be a harbinger of the Republican Party's future.

For whatever the reason, the hypocrisy at the heart of the party - and at the heart of American politics - is at its starkest in Alaska. For decades, Alaskans have lived off federal welfare. Taxpayers' money subsidizes everything from Alaska's roads and bridges to its myriad programs for Native Americans. Federal funding accounts for one-third of Alaskan jobs. Nevertheless, Alaskans love to think of themselves as the last frontiersmen, the inhabitants of a land "beyond the horizon of urban clutter," a state with no use for Washington and its wicked ways."

Gee......it's lookin' more-and-more like we've found an OBVIOUS place to start cutting spending! ​

Hahahahahahahaha is all there is to say.

[McDowell's]

Someone wrote something down on a piece of paper and told Sarah Palin to hand it to the National Review online? Exciting.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Food prices aren't rising. Palin got this information by misunderstanding a WSJ article that said the cost of goods was rising for stores, but the point of the article was that prices for consumers had surprisingly low increases. Even below average.

OTOH - fuck quantitative easing. If we are going to be spending all that money it needs to go to the real middle class, not bankers, who are doing great and still not lending. Corporations are also doing fine and have huge cash reserves and still aren't expanding.

Meanwhile, the government won't pay to restructure mortgages, or even investigate fraudulent lenders or fraudulent foreclosures seriously.

 

[gautama]

SARAH PALIN !!!

Keep going......you're obliterating OBAMADINEJAD and the Obamarrhoidal LIEbturd stooges.

Note how these Obamarrhoidal LIEbturd stooges are already out in force registering their fear and their vomit at the very mention of your devastating to them reality !

You're scaring them SHITLESS.......and for good reason !!!!

And we already know their predictable reaction, they'll whine in a non-convincing manner: "bring her on !" ..... "hope she runs for the Presidency!".......MEANWHILE SHITTING IN THEIR PANTIES AND COWARDLY ATTACKING HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND HER DOWN SYNDROME CHILD....

Sarah Palin Shreds WSJ Reporter For Not Being Able To Read His Own Paper

Sarah Palin Shreds WSJ Reporter For Not Being Able To Read His Own Paper:

From Her Facebook

Ever since 2008, people seem inordinately interested in my reading habits. Among various newspapers, magazines, and local Alaskan papers, I read the Wall Street Journal.

So, imagine my dismay when I read an article by Sudeep Reddy in today’s Wall Street Journal criticizing the fact that I mentioned inflation in my comments about QE2 in a speech this morning before a trade-association. Here’s what I said: “everyone who ever goes out shopping for groceries knows that prices have risen significantly over the past year or so. Pump priming would push them even higher.”

Mr. Reddy takes aim at this. He writes: “Grocery prices haven’t risen all that significantly, in fact.” Really? That’s odd, because just last Thursday, November 4, I read an article in Mr. Reddy’s own Wall Street Journal titled “Food Sellers Grit Teeth, Raise Prices: Packagers and Supermarkets Pressured to Pass Along Rising Costs, Even as Consumers Pinch Pennies.”(continued in link above)

Yeah, but what does Keith Olberman say?

Sarah is the worst person in the world. Now, answer this: Who owns the WSJ?

You idiot.

SURPRISINGLY LOW INCREASES are still increases.

 

[Epsilon Delta]

I'm not sure what they're praising Palin about, but the fact that they praise Zoellick's uselessly moronic rant on the gold standard at the same time really gives you some insight.

FT.com / Global Economy - Zoellick?s call on gold standard dismissed

 

[Toro]

Gaytrauma and USArmyRetired are cheering on Sarah. I'm sure Ms. Palin is appreciative of the racist vote!

 

[Wry Catcher]

Who owns the WSJ?

 

[antagon]

the journal's lost it - going on a decade. the blogger editorialists at least. non-idiots now contribute to the economist.
