WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Deficit spending by the Obama administration is "immoral," former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says.

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Palin blasted Obama's handling of the economy and the budget, saying, "We have lost millions and millions and millions of jobs as we have incurred greater and greater debt and deficit, debt that I believe is immoral because we're handing the bill to our children."

Speaking after appearance at an organizing convention of the conservative grassroots Tea Party movement last week, Palin said, "What's coming from the White House is just a fundamental difference from a lot of conservatives in our belief that government is not the answer."

Asked if she would run for president, Palin answered, "I would. I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so."
