Think about it...

Obama hired his closest advisers right out of the Chicago political cesspool! The same garbage that's in charge of Chicago is who he put in charge of the world's largest economy... We should expect similar results. It's not like nobody saw this coming.

Taxpayers to Recover a Mere $24 Million from Solyndra; Networks Ignore


By SCOTT WHITLOCK

From the Media Research Center

The three networks have, thus far, ignored the revelation that American taxpayers will only recover a mere $24 million of the $527 million lost on Solyndra, a new report by the Dow Jones newswire revealed last week.

The evening newscasts and morning shows have skipped the announcement.

The Washington Examiner explained on Thursday, "In a little-noticed move, Solyndra LLC officially released it bankruptcy plan this week. The official word from it is that taxpayers will recover only $24 million of the about $527 million."

The only utterance of Solyndra last week came when Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus brought it up on Sunday's This Week.

Talking to an unhappy-looking George Stephanopoulos, the RNC chairman zinged, "The entire philosophy of...Barack Obama can be summarized in one word and that's Solyndra. That's Barack Obama's philosophy."

The Examiner piece quoted the Dow newswire as pointing out that "documents filed Friday evening in a Delaware bankruptcy court say private equity firms, including one whose chief has ties to the Obama administration, will get back at least half of the $70 million they put into Solyndra early last year as the company battled for survival."

As the Examiner's Sean Higgins reminded, "US taxpayers, on the other hand, won't be so lucky."

U.S. taxpayers will lose 95.5 percent of their investment, but Obama-connected investigators will get back "at least half." Imagine how the media would react if the situation was reversed and this were true of a Republican president and his or her wealthy donors.

Most of the red states are already in "bailout" mode. they get more from the federal government than their citizens pay in federal taxes. The welfare for places like mississippi dwarfs what germany is doing for greece. The EU is chafing at using the american model of giving money to the ignorant members of their union.

How are the survivor benefits working out on the teacher's salary and pension?

I hope the state is meeting their fair share.
