Sarah Reads My Mind

Have you read Sarah Palin in the WaPo? No, not the usual article about her second cousin's dog groomer getting drunk at a picnic; it's an op-ed by Sarah Palin, re- Cap and Trade. Favorite bit:

In addition to immediately increasing unemployment in the energy sector, even more American jobs will be threatened by the rising cost of doing business under the cap-and-tax plan. For example, the cost of farming will certainly increase, driving down farm incomes while driving up grocery prices. The costs of manufacturing, warehousing and transportation will also increase.

The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will "necessarily skyrocket." So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.

That is the silver lining: that the Change and Hopists have to live in this economy with us. They can't opt out, and you can expect them to notice when their utility bills start growing.

Read the article. This is why Sarah Palin is being attacked long after the presidential race is over - she gets it. They're afraid of debate.
