So it’s okay to waste taxpayer monies on “green jobs” boondoggles as long as the increments are small enough.

No. But you have to look at the time frame. The Mass. Company received that grant in 2003 and declared bankruptcy this year. It was an ongoing concern in the interim. Trying to tie that in with Solyndra, which was nothing more than a payoff to donors, is no more than gotcha politics. The two examples are or even related.

Maybe you should try it this way...

The governor of Massachusetts approves Massachusetts taxpayer funding for a Massachusetts company. The president approves national taxpayer funding for a California company.

At least Romney kept it within the boundaries of his state.

No, it’s not OK to waste taxpayer’s money on green job boondoggles.

The article was drawing a comparison between Romney’s investment failure and Obama’s.

My point was there is really no comparison given Romney’s gamble on the taxpayers dime (albeit wrong move) loss was about 1/600th of Barry’s.
