150k could've bought A LOT more suits to give to charity if they'd have got them from Macy's INC or something.. which is just as nice and business-y.. It just doesn't have a huge price tag on it..

And WHAT CHILD needs a Louis Vuitton bag?
I have no children and pay all my own bills and get along perfectly fine... but would NEVER, EVER, EVER spend that much on a bag.

AND... That's like 2 coach bags...
THe rednecks she appeals to would appreciate the coach bags even more. lol
You really do not get it do you. It's the Republicans policy of trickle down in action. Even a moron like me can see that. This is how it works for the less bright of you.

She spends $150,000 on expensive clothing for herself and probably more for her children when they turn up at a rally. Of this $150,000 the sales girl at the stores probably got 5% if she was hitting her targets. So there you are right away $7,500 has trickled down. Then the store has a profit which is needed to pay the high wages of the executives and the low wages of the cleaners.

Then a huge chunk of it goes to the designer label which is probably not a US company and they pay some sweat shop worker in the Far East a pittance. So the trickle down is working fine for the sales girl, the big execs, the over seas companies and most important about the trickle down is it works for the ones at the top.

They are constantly harping on about the Government deciding where your money is spent. Now you can see how well they will spend it.

Don't worry about the money trickling out of the system, I'm sure the designer labels will send some back. Just not to you.

Just occurred to me. Stars don't pay for their wardrobes for public events, they get them given to them because the designer label wants the exposure. Couldn't Palin make a few phone calls and get it for free. Or did she not bother to think about that?

You see how wisely they spend money. Let's give them some big bucks to spend.
