Nikki Haley: Government 'Never Intended to Be All Things to All People'

Nikki Hailey is the first Republican spokesperson who has articulated a position that is classically Libertarian, and also backed it up with a two-year track record of accomplishments in her state. And, of course, she is the youngest governor by far of any state in the USA, which means she can wait out Obama's two terms as President and enter the national sweepstakes with a considerable resume. She's one to watch for the future, and my bet is that she'd be a shoo-in for the 2018 election if she continues on her present course.

I am not a SC citizen, and thought I might throw out some questions for SC residents to answer:
Haley's financial status? Is she, like most politicians, independently wealthy? If yes, is she collecting her paycheck and willing to take the taxpayer funded pension? There are some savings...
Repeal healthcare reform, yet asks the SC HHS to ensure there are no cuts to state Medicaid and the wants the state to dictate rates? Uh, both sides of the fence??
Good luck neighbors

I thought that moral societies were supposed to help those who are less fortunate. I am deeply saddened to live in a country where the we fail to understand our role. I can envision South Carolina pulling a Jan Brewster and cutting funds to transplant patients on their death beds. While our infratructure crumbles about our heads, we "rich" and "international" corporations refuse to cough up the funds essential to our future prosperity. How sad for us.

Well she will have to find money to pay those private entities she lovingly like to quote for housing our military. Why would you go and demolish perfectly good homes to build new ones at the expense of the tax payers?? I get it because she owed the contractors some pay back for their contribution to her lame campaign. This woman is a joke and I hope all you loony toons that voted her in pay dearly for your ignorance.

Pretty weak cuts she has proposed. With a budget gap that big she better get to work, then see what the people think of her.

Yes, people say this, until they need government to help them, then of course the purpose of government changes. Is this governor willing to reject the government health care plan she gets for being the people's representative? Why should she get guaranteed healthcare and not her constituents?

Haley right. And worse yet, many in Congress seem to see themselves as deserving of lavish lifestyles and view we the people as just a source of money for their wild spending sprees.
