Comments about ‘On second thought...’

What's the difference between Solyndra and iprovo, cotton wood mall, sugarhouse, the zoo and ten thousand other taxpayer rip offs by business? Maybe just the party?

Republicans are trying to smear Obama without reporting all the facts. Solyndra was touted, pushed and supported by the Bush Administration. It's private sector backers came from both sides of the political divide. In fact, the largest backers were Republican party supporters-the Walton Family. In 2010, the Wall Street Journal ranked Solyndra the top clean-tech company with the capital, executive experience and investor know-how to succeed in an increasingly crowded field. The research firm VentureSource (owned by NewsCorp., which also owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of the Journal) calculated the rankings, applying a set of financial criteria to some 350 U.S.-based venture-backed businesses in clean technology. [Wall Street Journal, 3/7/10]. MITs Technology Review Chose Solyndra As One Of The Worlds 50 Most Innovative Companies. The Technology Review evaluated companies based on their business model[s], strategies for deploying and scaling up its technologies, and the likelihood of success.

Emails did not voice concern of the risk of the investment as has been selectively reported.

That's a good one, Jay Evensen, Deseret News, "If Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary because, presumably, he makes more money, why doesn't he give her a break and pay her more?." Same reason DN dont give-raise to you. Scientists say they've found something that travels faster than the speed of light. It's your money, if your middle-class, on social security, going into the pocket's of the Koch Brother's, from the GOP's hands. The Koch brothers' father, Fred, was among the select group chosen to serve on the Birch Society's top governing body. In a recorded 1963 speech that survives in a University of Michigan archive, he can be heard warning of "a takeover" of America in which Communists would "infiltrate the highest offices of government in the U.S. until the president is a Communist, unknown to the rest of us." That rant could be delivered as is at any Tea Party rally today. The other major sponsor of the Tea Party movement is Dick Armeys FreedomWorks, which, like Americans for Prosperity, is promoting events, not GOP jobs. WHERE'S THE JOBS?. We want to know. Like it or not, these my views.
