But fast and furious is worse...people died and more will die.
And Nixon was impeached because??
The Chicago way, and according to Zero my husband and I are two of the “rich” who need to pay more in taxes to fund his graft. And we make less than 1/3rd of his singles $250K between us. BTW we are retired seniors over 65, still paying income taxes, and his Navy pension took over a $500 tax hit over the past 2 years. This with NO COLA’s and no increase in income.
Yet we are paying more for food, clothes, insurance (car, home) and fuel. We are told the county needs more property taxes, (dems control our County Commission and are all crooked). We can no longer vote them out, as most have fled Memphis and Shelby CO for neighboring counties and MS, even though it has a state income tax, where TN does NOT.
I grew up on stories of the Great Depression, and we are in the OBAMA DEPRESSION.
Old people are using coupons for the first time in their lives, you can see the bewildered look on their faces as they try to figure out how they work. Salvation Army is busier than ever with people buying used clothes, instead of new, and this is all age ranges, all genders and skin colors.
They are in this up to their foreheads.
On a side note, I like how the NYT continues to spin, even after the demise of this company, "... Solyndra, a maker of innovative tubular rooftop solar panels ..."
Apparently, they weren't innovative enough!
Now they’re trying to make it look as if Bambi really didn’t know or understand anything about it, the whole Solyndra thing happened because he was deceived by evil (probably white) men while he was out looking for unicorns.
Should the “Energy Department’s loan guarantee oversight office “ be abolished?
Yes, I’ve seen in the last few days how they’re trying to filch this off on senior Energy Dept. people. They’ll probably fire him with a promise to get him a no-show job with a contractor that pays twice what the govt. does.
None of this stops the fact that Zero was hosting them at the White House, sitting in at their board meetings, and having lunch with the CEO & top staff. The prez doesn’t do that for just anybody, this was his A1 golden pet-project. Who’s going to tell him that it’s a loser that should be dumped? That’s like telling Don Corleone that he should stop his capos from collecting protection money.
Crony capitalism.
When was real capitalism, where investors and entrepreneurs took all the risk and then received all the reward, phased out? It was replaced with a system where we taxpayers who are given no choice, but required by politicians on the take to subsidize cronies. As I recollect this cancerous habit started years ago and has grown since then. I didn’t like it then, and dislike it much more now. We built stadiums for $100 million club owners and ball players, and with economic development giveaways, and now we have these fraudulent $500M giveaways. When does it end?
Taxpayers feel the pain but never the gain. Job creation should not be considered the taxpayer payoff. Creating jobs has always been a necessary by-product of creating and leveraging wealth. Business shouldn’t be handed tax dollars to create jobs but yet they are.
An excellent summary of what is going on. We need higher taxes to fund govt. graft.
