Her plan won’t work

Sarah Huckabee Sanders states in her political advertisements that she wants to save us from the radical left, defend our right to be free of socialism and tyranny, help solve the inflation problem, have great schools, create high-paying jobs, educate our children not indoctrinate them, have less government dependence, eliminate the state income tax and not allow her children to view CNN.

High-paying jobs require a good education, a good education requires great schools, and great schools require money. Arkansas has several problems already in the area of education. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2016, just 22.4 percent of the citizens of Arkansas had a fouryear college degree, compared with 31.3 percent of all Americans, putting Arkansas in 49th place.

State income taxes fund over a third of the education budget in Arkansas. What funding source will replace them? Huckabee Sanders’ plan just does not add up. Under it, Arkansans would become more uneducated. Democracy does not work with an uneducated population. Is that what Huckabee Sanders and the Republican Party really want? An uneducated populace that is much easier to manipulate by tyrants?

Inflation is caused by the massive overprinting of money by the Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell, the current chairman of the Fed, was appointed by Donald Trump. I believe another inflation cause is the Trump tariffs. Huckabee Sanders must not have paid attention in her economics 101 class. I do not recall Huckabee Sanders objecting to Powell’s appointment or the tariffs.

Huckabee Sanders’ career has been dominated by government employment and dependence. She rallies against government dependence yet she has fed primarily at the public trough.

Arkansas does not need Huckabee Sanders.
