White House press secretary, Dana Perino, on the ‘lend for America’ plan:
Taxpayers will make billions when this plan succeeds. It’s a ‘win-win can’t fail’ situation. The more money banks lend the more money banks will make. It never fails. And the beauty of the plan is taxpayers benefit. If it looks like the plan is not working it’s only because banks are not lending enough.
QED.
