Palin interviewed by Couric, excerpted from Zakaria's article in Newsweek:
COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out [awkward/thus begins the haphazard recycling of any and all thoughts pertaining in some way to the economy]. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed [???] to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. [?]And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing [incomplete]. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity [fragment]. All those things [?] under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that [awkward].
