You know what really stinks about this whole deal? DOE sat in on board meeting, THEY KNEW THE COMPANY WAS GOING TO GO UNDER. So they restructured the deal so that when Solyndra did file for bankruptcy, the private investors would get their money back before the taxpayers did. Like this guy Kaiser, who was a major Obama supporter who helped finance the Obama campaign.
Remember the Chrysler deal, when the UAW jumped in front of the priority line for who got what back then, and the private investors got fucked? Ordinary people got royally screwed but the FOOs (Friends Of Obama) were covered.
Same deal, the taxpayers are going to get screwed for a half billion dollars, and the worst part is they're still doing it. New loan guarantees are going out the door from DOE to the same companies that have already gone bust. And these pricks have the nerve to ask for higher tax rates and more money. Fuck 'em.
