Obama may not have it ri...I'm sorry but Palin?<br /><br />Obama may not have it right. But Palin most certainly does not either.<br /><br />How does she plan on reducing taxes and growing the military at the same time? Even if you set aside all of Obama's spending growth and the cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US would still have a structural deficit. That is something Republicans just can't admit.<br /><br />And if you have a structural deficit, you have to cut spending or raise taxes. What would she do? Other than generic crap, she won't discuss what she will cut and how deeply.<br /><br />As for her foreign policy, she like most of the American political class, but particularly those on the right are failing to come to grips with the rise of the Asian superpowers. A purely military contest, will simply not be possible in a multi-polar world. The US needs to cultivate friendships and alliances.<br /><br />This is something Republicans have sadly been unable to do correctly in the last few years. Or they cultivate friendships with the wrong side. Just look at Pakistan. It's Jihad Central. Yet, everytime they have more suicide bombings we give them more aid that disappears into the Pakistani blackhole and eventually finds its way to Jihadi groups fighting NATO in Afghanistan and Indians in Kashmir. A terrible policy, started in Bush, made worse under Obama. Yet not a peep from likes of folks like Palin or McCain, about doing what's right, cultivating an Israel like relationship with India.<br /><br />That's why I can't trust people like Palin. Simplistic platitudes won't do America or her allies any good. In reality, she'd be no better than Obama. She'd burn bridges or persist in the abusive relationships the US has and she simply would not be able to balance the books (because she nor the US Congress has the fortitude to balance the real structural deficits the US faces).kEiThZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922934696198250193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380332481433385691.post-82323129250342301322010-07-08T14:05:28.096-04:002010-07-08T14:05:28.096-04:00McCoy, I am assuming you are also Anonymous with t...McCoy, I am assuming you are also Anonymous with that same winning debating style.<br /><br />That Africa stuff has been debunked.
