How is the Energy Dept empowered to make loans like a bank?

And with funds borrowed from China?

Good Grief!

They created a special government bank to do this, apparently.

Strictly speaking, the DOE isn't making loans, it's guaranteeing loans. That is, no money goes out the door unless and until (as in the case of Solyndra) the party receiving the loan defaults on the loan.

No, the Treasury has it’s own little bank. It was on the Fox business channel. The Federal bank is akin to Timmy Geithners personal wallet..funded with Treasury funds..in other words OUR MONEY.

Nice reporting by Elizabeth McDonald, these people need a tar and feather facial...
