OPINION | IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE WE CERTAINLY MUST UNDERSTAND THE PAST. THIS IS TRUE AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM CORRUPT POLITICIANS.
To envision the size of the pot of gold that Democrats envision for themselves at the other end of the Green New Deal rainbow we only have to look back to the Obama administration, the $3 Trillion in stimulus money, the Green Movement, and how it seemingly enriched Democrats, their donors, and Nancy Pelosi in particular.
For background we cite a September 2011 article from the Daily Mail:
Even as government financed green energy pioneer Solyndra was failing, the Obama administration approved an additional $1 Billion in loans to similar green energy projects.
A whopping 737 million of that money went to the Crescent Dunes project situated in Tonopah, Nevada, to finance a 110-megawatt desert solar power plant.
Stay with me.
Nancy Pelosis brother-in-law company was a primary beneficiary of that money landing a $737 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy for Crescent Dunes.
Funny that as Democrats scream that Saudis renting out an entire floor of a Trump hotel is an untenable emolument. But I digress.
Despite knowledge that Solyndra was tanking then-Minority Leader Pelosis brother-in-law, second in command at the energy investment firm backing the project, somehow secured government funding for the SolarReserve project.
PCG Clean Energy & Technology Fund (East) LLC, listed as one of the investors in the project was given the staggering loan, which even dwarfs that given to failed company Solyndra.

Three Quarters. Of. A billion dollars.
Treason...
Heads need to roll!
Crescent Dunes Solar Project
Check out Diane Feinsteins husbands connection with the American Samoan tuna industry and the hundreds of millions of grants that that he received. Sacking the treasury is what they do.
Would that be the same Ron Pelosi that is the uncle of California’s Governor Gavin Newsom?
The Solyndra grifting / money laundering scheme update. Thanks bitt.
A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosis $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.
Being poor is GREAT! Just not for Nancy...
A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip. The overnight to stay here runs $1,325. Oh, and that's for the BARGAIN room, by the way.
The same is true of the 16-branch, upscale restaurant chain Pelosi partners in, Piatti, located in 5 states in the USA, shown below. Of the nearly 1,000 employees working there, ZERO are members of a union.
Employing union people is FANTASTIC..!!! Just not for Nancy.
Must be nice, huh?
Lets take a look at a different branch of Piatti, the photo below shows their branch nestled in La Jolla:
Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.
Bad working conditions, and $5.35 each hour. Sorry Charlie..!
In a single year the bar tab for Pelosis huge government plane exceeded $100,000 one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
In Feb 2018 Chris Matthews claimed the GOP's strategy to maintain its congressional majority was to relentlessly attack Nancy "because she is an ethnic sort of person".
Behold the highly ethnic, hard-scrabble Pelosi clan below, decked out in gangsta finery in South Central Napa Valley:
Amazing. She and her family live just like socialists. So committed to their ideology..
She’s a joke. A tragic, hypocritical joke.
Welcome to the swamp. That’s how we do it folks.
Check it out:
Pelosi was born in San Francisco in an Italian-American family on November 2, 1934, and was reared in that city. He has a brother, Paul. He earned a bachelor’s degree in American history from Stanford University in 1956, the same year he was married to Barbara Newsom in 1956; they were divorced in 1977. He was remarried in 1979, to Susan Ferguson. His children were Carolyn and Cynthia (died 1970), Brennan, Matt Pelosi, Laurence (born 1971) and Andrew (born 1981).
He is the brother-in-law of Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He is a former uncle-by-marriage of Governor of California Gavin Newsom.
Here’s the stuff on the Crescent Dunes Plant:

Not coming close to meeting its expected output. So what’s new? It appears to be another Solyndra-like boondoggle to enrich the RATs. But then isn’t everything like this? We will not put an end to these thefts until people go to jail.
