Sarah Pallin has a unique opportunity to speak out about the Tax and Spend crowd.
I'm sure as a parent she has had her kids ask her for money. Probably she, like most of us parents, have had her kids come to her and tell her that they need more allowance.
What does any parent do when a kid has run through their allowance and comes back asking for more?
They ask: "Well, what did you spend your money on?" And invariably, when the truth comes out, the answer is "Oh... some junk..."
And, any good parent will then explain: "Listen, you aren't going to get any more money, until you prove to me that you can spend it wisely. Your problem isn't that you don't have enough money, it is that you are spending it on a lot of junk you don't need and we can't afford."
Congress doesn't need Audacious Hope... it needs a Pragmatic Parent.
