Impeachable offenses???
Perp walks for DOE officials? White House officials?
I’m pretty sure it was a $535 MILLION, not billion.
Who is the Guy who wrote this article? It was 535 million not Billion.
Ah, nothing like the joy of writing a nice article and then trashing it by making a ludicrous mistake.
The writer’s like Obama. Neither of them can tell the difference between a billion and a trillion....
Why should they care, it isn’t there money being wasted.
there=their
its not half a trillion, its half a billion. the article made a mistake
Because all these “loans” to “green” energy gambits all go to leftists and Dem supporters. That’s why this will continue. Obama is raiding the treasury for his ideological buddies.
The author was catching it on that billions to trillions mistake in the comments section.
"As I think of this bill, and the fact that the more progress we make the deeper we go into the hole, I am reminded of a group of men who were working on a street. They had dug quite a number of holes. When they got through, they failed to puddle or tamp the earth when it was returned to the hole, and they had a nice little mound, which was quite a traffic hazard.
"Not knowing what to do with it, they sat down on the curb and had a conference. After a while, one of the fellows snapped his fingers and said, ‘I have it. I know how we will get rid of that overriding earth and remove the hazard. We will just dig the hole deeper.'" [Congressional Record, June 16, 1965, p. 13884].
This is just a sophisticated way to loot the treasury using existing vehicles. They are speeding it up to get the cash out to the money laundering entities so to have a bunch of money for the election.
And still no one does anything to stop him.
Bush would not approve the loan. Obama bragged that the loan languished in the previous administration and he, Obama, got this great, green, Earth saving, job creating, loan moving.
So it must be Bush’s fault.
(They still haven’t figured out why there is no profit when you sell something for three dollars that cost six dollars to make.)
Were solely commercial monies involved in this it would come off as monumentally stupid on a scale that surpasses the Madoff scandal.
However, the use of taxpayer funded monies makes it criminal, nearly to the point of treasonous.
As long as the government successfully hides the fact that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOVERNMENT MONEY, IT’S ALL TAXPAYER MONEY, these kinds of shenanigans will continue. This is another example of the success of the progressives in controlling the lexicon and the terms of the political discourse.
Obama is not stupid.
He is malignant and malicious.
I want to know who got the contract to build this “opulent” building. I hear it was no bid, a union boondoggle for sure, but what were they paid to build it and how much did that construction company, union workers give in campaign donations to BO?
And how many of these "Solyndra's" are out there?
This has been the plan all along
There is but one
Solution and death is not allowed
