How does everyone feel about the 535 million taxpayer dollars that went to Solyndra, a failing company?   :BangHead:

The fact that any companies are subsidized with taxpayer dollars bothers me.  Loans are fine, because loans (generally) get paid back, and there's always risk involved.  What is troubling about Solyndra are the reports that it was rushed into and the paperwork was rushed through.

This is Obama's Watergate. There's also going to have to be an investigation into what happened with the member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff being told to lie under oath to Congress, in that matter involving the communications industry and the military's ability to use guided missiles, etc.
