Palin's logic ???

Sarah Palin told the Faith and Freedom Coalition that America's debt is like slavery, where "younger people will be shackled to the country's spending."

She railed against all this "free stuff" that the government gives away, concluding that "there's no such thing as a free lunch."
"When that note comes due -- and this isn't racist, but it's going to be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to be beholden to a foreign master. Because there is no plan coming out of Washington, D.C. to stop the incurrence of debt."
No plan to stop the incurrence of debt?    Then how is that the deficit has dropped to half what it was soon after Obama took office?

Palin had previously bloviated on the same theme on Fox News, saying:
"What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days [before the Civil War] when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin."
OK.  Let's just skip over the fact that these are very racist innuendos given that Obama is black, and the Civil War was about the enslavement of blacks.   

Where is the logic though in blaming him for "different classes based on income"?   It is clearly Republican policies that are widening the income gap in America.   I don't think most Republicans, even, argue with that.   They just don't see it as a bad thing.

But Palin, in her logic-free mind, tries to pin it all on President Obama.    Put in terms that maybe she can understand:   "Sarah, honey, that dog won't hunt."
