I really wish he would just answer the questions instead of obfuscation via personal attacks.
And I really wish some of you guys had more than the equivalent of a 5th grade education and understanding of economics! TA and 240 are two of the freaking worst on this board! Whether its the failed stim bill I argued with you jokers about (Who was fucking right on that?), cash for clunkers, or any other bs, you guys simply have what can be only considered a half ass understanding of public finance at best. And thats being generous!
This bogus story is largely based upon pension obligations of the state of Alaska, which really has not much to do with a current sitting governor. Christie, Patterson, Arnold, and every other governor face the same fiscal disasters due solely to unionized public employees getting pensions that are fiscal time bombs.
Most, if not all, of the employees who generate these unfunded liabilities we hired prior to Palin being elected and already have pensions that are vested, regardless of whether they complete their 20 yr or are or were fired.
If you can show me that as Governonr she hired massive levels of of govt employees, and greatly expanded public debt and public programs and public spending, fine, but if you are going to blame her for pension obligations, than you really should fuck off and educate yourselves since you are utterly CLUELESS on how things work.
