Gov. Palin during VP Debate 10/2/08:
We need to make sure that we demand from the federal government strict oversight of those entities in charge of our investments and our savings and we need also to not get ourselves in debt. Let's do what our parents told us before we probably even got that first credit card. Don't live outside of our means. We need to make sure that as individuals we're taking personal responsibility through all of this. It's not the American peoples fault that the economy is hurting like it is, but we have an opportunity to learn a heck of a lot of good lessons through this and say never again will we be taken advantage of."

She deserves Kudos for saying this and for speaking out on the corruption in Washington and on Wall St. It is of course, our fault, if we buy something knowing we can't afford it.
