Classical hijacking. This thread is about a single company (not an entire industry) that received record amounts of taxpayer funded loan guarantees because they were big political backers of Obama who within months shuttered their doors. They put themselves in line before the taxpayers for repayment and then can't even be bothered to recycle/resell/donate the company's assets. And, there is a difference between the government providing incentives for green energy research and development and straight up giving of loan guarantees in excess of $500M to a single politically connected company.
If you want to complain about general government subsidies and speculation in a wide range of industries, start a thread about it. This is about a single politically connected company that was given millions as a kickback for their support and then turned around and kicked the taxpayers right in the teeth.
No, the thread is about government waste. Lets talk about all of it, not just one case.
We aren't going to balance the budget by cancelling Obama's pet projects. We have to undo both sides pet projects.
Reports also said they were approached about donating some of the tubes to schools but were refused. I mean giving them away has to be better than destroying them.
Taxpayer money! Its ok if they don't get any back.
Be fair. I reprimanded left wingers for not waiting more than a few minutes before they criticized conservatives for ignoring a thread. It was actually weirdly schizophrenic when they began stating conservative views and then attacked them just to have something to rail against. It was like they were arguing into a mirror.
Solyndra is basically doing what many homeowners did when they were foreclosed on, they trashed their homes so the banks would take a loss. They're probably ripping out wiring and plumbing fixtures, dumping oil on the carpets and pouring concrete down the drains. Of course Obama will be there to write off any losses the banks take. Can't let the banks lose any money, you know.
Or allowing homeless people to move in to these foreclosed homes at no cost and occupy for free. Like the OWS people, for example.
Obama can't blame anybody for the debacle that this is turning out to be to his 'reputation'; his predecessor very wisely stopped throwing funny money down this asinine rathole two weeks before he left office, IIRC.
Using 'Chicago style political thuggery' against Chrysler's shareholders was downright despicable, yet the liberal media uttered barely a peep in protest.
Cue monty python voice.... "Green industry is perfectly viable"
