Yes we can . . . run a $229 billion deficit in a single month!
Via Beltway Confidential:
President Obama’s White House website is reviving his 2008 campaign slogan, “Yes we can,” by pointing to one of the president’s green energy loan programs as an outgrowth of that campaign mentality.
“In 2008, Presidential candidate Barack Obama declared ‘Yes We Can,'” Emily Niehaus of Community Rebuilds posted, under the headline “Taking Part in a Yes We Can America,” to the White House blog. “I, along with millions of other Americans, was inspired by this approach to politics. I understood this message to be a partnership request.”
Niehaus explains that she founded Community Rebuilds to construct energy-efficient housing for low-income familes, in keeping with the Yes We Can slogan, but she couldn’t have done it without government subsidies. “The green building industry was suffering from a lack of green builders,” she said.
