[Rhodes22-list] Politics - Palin - Twain

[Brad Haslett]

Bill,

The Chinese aren't stupid, they've got their own problems, but unlike
us, they got rid of their state supported loser industries while we're
navel gazing about whether to bail out GM. Government housing?  They
shit-canned the concept a long time ago.  We think we're going to
fire-up the printing presses for currency and stiff-arm the foreign
lenders by paying off the debt with cheaper dollars.  China may have
fewer lawyers and MBA's but they're not stupid! What Palin did to Big
Oil in the last two years, ie, renegotiating the severance tax and
doing an end-run around their stalling on the gas pipeline is starting
to look pretty brilliant.  Weaning her state off of federal earmarks
and holding the budget in check was pretty smart as well considering
the current economic climate.  Not a bad day's work for an ignorant
hick hockey mom.
