Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Friday doubled down on her opposition to raising the nation's debt ceiling, using an interesting bit of slang to convey her thoughts.

"Hells no. I would not vote to increase that debt ceiling," she said during an interview on Fox News, where she is a paid contributor.

Otherwise it just shows the American public that we aren't serious, yet we are still going to incur more debt. It turns my stomach to hear this assumption articulated that we have to, despite the fact that we are raking in the federal government six billion dollars a day. Take that money and service our debt first and pay down some of that debt. Make sure that we are showing the international financial markets and our lenders that we're serious about getting our debt and our deficit problems under control.”
