Fiscal Conservative?

There's too much Palin goodness out there, but here is one tidbit that warrants mention. She might claim she's a fiscal conservative, but if her experience as mayor is any indication she's anything but.

Giving Palin the benefit of the doubt by setting the town's population at its highest, current estimate (9,000 people), using a conservative estimate for the U.S. national population over the last decade (275 million), and multiplying the latter figure times the debt-per-Wasillan ($2,444 = $22M divided by 9,000), that means that if she were running the country it would translate into about $672 billion in debt. (And if you use the 6,700 population figure for Wasilla, the number climbs close to $1 trillion.)
