Palin Calls for More Socialism

“The fact is that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, they’ve gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers (cheers, applause). The McCain/Palin administration will make them smaller, smarter, and more effective for homeowners who need help.”

Looks like Sarah Palin knows as much about the economy as John McCain.

Um, Mrs. Palin, the taxpayers didn’t own Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Until this weekend, that is. Now the government owns them. So what you’re saying is that you believe that government can make these formerly non-government-owned companies smaller, smarter and more effective? That sounds mighty close to socialism to me. Imagine a right-wing patriotic American like yourself calling for more socialism?

Or do you just not know what the hell you’re talking about?
