Remember Solyndra? Republicans screaming and ranting? Think "Whitefish".

Throwing money to your friends is blind to party affiliation. It is done by both sides.
Solyndra: Politics infused Obama energy programs
Linda Sterio remembers the excitement when President Obama arrived at Solyndra last year and described how his administration’s financial support for the plant was helping create hundreds of jobs. The company’s prospects appeared unlimited as Solyndra executives described the backlog of orders for its solar panels.

Then came the August morning when Sterio heard a newscaster announce that more than a thousand Solyndra employees were out of work. Only recently did she learn that, within the Obama administration, the company’s potential collapse had long been discussed.

But if you are intent on putting Solyndra on Bush you probably don’t want to see this. Sorry sport, you can’t have it both ways.
‘Scandalous’ Solyndra Program Actually Earned Taxpayers A $5 Billion Profit
The much-maligned government program that funded the failed solar tech company Solyndra is expected to make taxpayers a $5 to $6 billion return, Bloomberg Businessweek reported on Wednesday.

So you tell me, was Solyndra a Republican program that ended up turning a profit, or was it a Democratic one that was a complete disaster?

It was a Republican program that was going bankrupt until Democrats took it over and made it work.
Like the economy Bush handed Obama.

I should have guessed you’d say something as partisan (ignorant) as that. Typical mindless lib- “republican bad, liberal good”. Now pull the chain monkey brain and get your cookie, your so well trained.

Except it's true. Truth is NOT partisan. It just "IS".

except with your history here,most look at you as being one of the most partisan posters here....your credibility was shot years ago.....

You are spot on. He has ZERO credibility. I didn’t see any links to support his (false) claim that the Dems saved the program. It’s just what he has been trained to do, repeat the LWNJ story over and over. Facts and logic be damned.

dean will post a thread that might be worth discussing,then he ruins it when he starts in with his anti-republican monologue,which he does every time no matter what the topic is,after years of doing this his threads are looked at as just another anti right rant....and yet after all this time he just cant seem to understand why he gets treated like he does,its called an obsession....

Sorry, but when you look at so many of the problems facing the country, they originate with the GOP. I get tired of the press protecting them and their leaders lying.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Republicans acting like Democrats....outrageous!

 

[MarathonMike]

In the warped world of Liberals, losing a half a billion in tax dollars through a GUARANTEED LOAN in an ALREADY FAILING STARTUP named Solyndra is equivalent to Whitefish Energy getting a contract under questionable circumstances. This is how the Left operates. Dismiss Democratic corruption and incompetence through false equivalency. "X is just as bad as Y, moving on".

 

[mamooth]

Conservatives, being hilariously ignorant of anything related to economics, don't know how loans work. Banks make loans knowing some loans will fail. They make a profit based on the loans that don't fail.

That's how the government energy loan program worked. Overall, it made money for the government, even though the single loan to Solyndra failed.

So, according to the hilariously stupid conservatives here, an honest loan program that made money for the government is exactly the same as a corrupt no-bid contract handed out to political cronies.

As usual, the Democrats did nothing wrong. That's not debatable by any honest person. Republicans here are lying about the Democrats, for the purpose of providing cover for the corrupt and incompetent leaders of their party. Same old same old.

The Whitefish contract says the government isn't allowed to audit anything, ever. Conservatives, do you think that's proper?

The Whitefish contract says there are no penalties for late performance. Conservatives, do you think that's proper?

The Whitefish contract was awarded without bids, to a company with no actual assets or experience, to a political crony of the Trump-appointed Interior Secretary.

Conservatives, do you think that's proper?

Do you think people should be prosecuted for such open corruption?

Do something you've never done before, and try to give a straight answer without deflecting by making up stories about Democrats.

Tell that to those suffering in Puerto Rico.
Tell that to the tens of millions the GOP is working hard to take away their healthcare.
Tell that to the elderly who are afraid the GOP will leave them living out in the street.
Tell that to the young girl the GOP held hostage trying to force her to have an unwanted baby.
Tell that to GOP traitors protecting Trump over the country.
Yea, go ahead, tell us.

 

[jillian]

It seems these types of scandals always leads back to Republicans.
Solyndra actually started under George Bush and the GOP.

Did the program that funded the Solyndra loan start under George W. Bush? David Plouffe says so

Now we have the enormous Whitefish scandal.

Zinke: ‘I had absolutely nothing to do with’ Whitefish contract

Zinke has been ensnared in the ongoing controversy over how Whitefish landed a $300 million contract to repair Puerto Rico’s electric grid after Hurricane Maria. The company had two employees and little experience in utility work before Maria, but still got the no-bid contract.

SCANDAL BLOWS UP: Leaked Document Shows Whitefish Contract Bars Government From Auditing Deal

And now, the Trump Administration hired a fracking company to build more of the Puerto Rican power grid at 200 million.

Puerto Rico just hired 2 contractors with little experience to fix its broken power grid

This is a four-month, $200 million contract with a subsidiary of Mammoth Energy, called Cobra Energy. Their job is to design and build a new electric grid for Puerto Rico.

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.

the extraordinary ability of the GOP to fabricate false equivalencies is really quite a skill....

butt backwards again, Frankie.

 

[westwall]

Throwing money to your friends is only the beginning for the GOP.

They want to add 2.4 fuking trillion to the deficit to give tax breaks to billionaires, fuk over old people and the disabled and worst of all, we have 6.2 million unfilled jobs. What new jobs do we need? Republicans aren't qualified for the ones available now.

Throwing money to your friends is blind to party affiliation. It is done by both sides.

Oh my gosh, you’re right. After reading that post I am left here sobbing for all those people that the evil right wants to make suffer.

But then again, I tend to be sarcastic in the face of ignorance, so there’s that.
