I don't even have to post the name. We all know which state it is and who the governor is. Sarah Palin, governor of America's number one welfare state (Alaska), should be dubbed the "welfare queen". It's a phrase popular among Republicans who favor the term for poor women who seek government assistance. So why would the phrase not fit Palin?
Alaska takes in more money in earmarks from the federal government than any other state. The average state takes in $50 per capita in earmarks. Alaska takes in over ten times that much, $506 per capita. Alaska, 47th in population, received $379,669,715 in 2008, more than any other state! And the GOP wants us to believe Governor Palin's a reformer, who says "thanks but no thanks" to earmarks.
