Democrats and their ever more Progressive "Liberal-Overlooking"?
Well, how 'bout we just take a itty bitty look at that, shall we?
From da Wiki:
"Solyndra received a $535 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee, the first recipient of a loan guarantee under President
Barack Obama's economic stimulus program, the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
[16] By 2014 the loan program had wiped out its losses, including a $528 million loss from Solyndra, and was operating in the black.
[17] Additionally, Solyndra received a $25.1 million tax break from California's Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority.
[18]
Following the bankruptcy, the government was expected to recoup $27 million under the Solyndra restructuring plan, or up to 100% of loaned funds from a $1.5 billion lawsuit filed against Chinese solar-panel makers for alleged price fixing.
[2] The outcome of the lawsuits were that: In November 2015 Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd. settled a claim filed by Solyndra for $7.5 million; in April 2016 Trina Solar Ltd. settled a claim filed by Solyndra for $45 million; as of April 2016, Solyndra's suit against Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd. has not yet settled.
[19]"
Oh, and the story just goes on and on and on and gets more outrageous as it goes.
Solyndra and others connected get the money from taxpayers, pay themselves a crap load, then give a bunch to Obama's campaign for Pres, then they go bankrupt.
No wonder Obama gave them the money... it's FREE MONEY!!!
OH, NO!!!! LOOK AT TRUMP!!!! NO LOOK!!!! LOOK AT TRUMP!!!! LOOK AT WHAT TRUMP IS DOING NOW!!!! OMG DID YOU JUST SEE WHAT TRUMP JUST DID??? TRUMP IS CAUSING THE SKY TO FALL!!! NO DON'T LOOK UP!!!! LOOK DOWN!!! TRUMP JUST CRAPPED ON YOUR FOOT!!!
