Sarah Palin is attacking everything to get attention. This week she has been giving economics lessons to the US Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve made a decision to buy $600 billion in long term U.S. Treasury bonds as an extraordinary measure to help the U.S. economy.

Palin’s main concern is the fear of potential inflation. As we know, Palin positions herself as a champion of spreading fear. Fear is a very real strategy in winning and scoring political points in America. Nobody knows how much she knows about the economy, but she certainly knows about cacophony. 

The more Palin says, the more she exposes herself to criticism and the less chance she has of winning the Republican presidential nomination. She is on fire right now. As the Bateke of Gabon say, “A bird with fire on its tail burns its own nest.”
