And we can see the positive impacts right here at Solyndra. Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot. But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations. This new factory is the result of those loans.

So we don't need more top-down economics. We've tried that theory. We've seen what happens. We can't afford to go back to it.
