Is This What Sarah Palin Thinks of the New GOP House Members Too after Lackadaisical Budget Cuts?

Sarah Palin had some tough words for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. These same words could just as easily be applied to the new Republicans in Congress (like Billy Long) with one exception, which I will explain. Here's what Palin had to say:

With all due respect to Governor Christie, you know he has no choice but to cut budgets because he’s broke, his state is broke. What courage really is, is in the face of having a surplus when you have opportunity to spend spend spend the people’s money, you still choose to reign in government to let the private sector soar. That’s real courage, and by the way that’s what I did as Governor here when I engaged in hiring freezes and reduced earmarks by 86% and vetoed the largest amounts in our state’s history. Despite having a surplus that’s real leadership and that’s courage.

Palin makes a valid point. Many of these states can't afford to spend another dime, but at least Governor Christie realizes this. Considering this is how she feels about Christie, let's back up and ask the question is this how Palin feels about the Republicans in the House of Representatives. If it is, surely she is disappointed.

After all, we are getting to the point of no return with our national debt. The Republicans, in order to get elected, had to address the debt. That was a given much like Governor Christie. However, considering Palin's words and how little the Republicans cut--not even meeting their goal of $100 billion in cuts, one would guess behind the scenes Palin probably isn't too impressed with this new Congress.
