Congressman Issa On Obama Green Job Failure: “We Would Have Done Better Throwing The Money Out A Window”

According to You Tube:

“Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, goes on Fox Business to discuss the Obama Administration’s failed investments of taxpayer dollars into ‘green’ programs.”

Yes, but Obama’s bundlers would not have done better, and at the end of the day that is all that mattered when the decisions were made.

If that window could either vote or give a healthy kick-back then it would have received a big stack of bills too!

A trillion dollars in ‘walking around’ money.

If that doesn’t say it all, nothing does.

the hole thing is a money laundering scheme. give money to the democrats, start a fake business, get millions of dollars of the american workers income, go out of business.

Sure Issa realizes this was a money laundering scheme.

I would LOVE to see a RICO investigation begin and follow the money trails from company to company. I would bet quite a bit close to 25% of the stimulus funds made their way right back to the Democrat’s war chests, with the remainder going to line the pockets of Obama’s closest friends. Yes this is pure classic textbook money laundering.

First of all, Issa is getting things done. But this statement has been true for a while not. Obama is spending and failing the American taxpayers. I hope that someone is keeping score on just how much money is going out the window. S&P downgrade America and that wasn’t because of Washington Budgetary Brilliance, now what it.

This is sounding cliche but WHERE IS THE BUDGET. We have a budget, where is Washington and who is going to finally reign Obama in. Nice words now back the up with some actions, please.

Not really, Congressman Issa. Throwing money out the window leaves open the possibility of getting at least some of it back.

As long as we have term limits and no consequences for the wrong doig of law makers this will continue. The GOP and Dhimmierats are the same wings of the Spend and Tax Party.

Wake up people. None of these folks are doing what is required by the Constitution. Our politicians are worse than the worst child molester.

It’s still my personal belief that many of the “green businesses” were virturally set up to be clearing houses for this administration to take tax-funded subsidies and use them to spread the wealth. I know it’s my own little conspiracy theory, but when one takes a look at Solyndra, all the misused dollars and now millions and millions of dollars of equipment being destroyed, why is it so hard to consider that these companies were propped up as “green” only to get taxpayer dollars and then they go bankrupt. Where did the money go? There are many other companies for whom this was the story. I firmly believe that there is more to this than just some companies going out of business only after they were given ridiculous amounts of taxpayer-funded dollars.

You’re not the only one who thinks this. Sadly, nobody in government or law enforcement or jurisprudence seems to see it for what it is.

These were “shell companies” and “fronts”, and were designed to go “bankrupt”, after the owners had stolen the money. I guarantee it. The James Gang (not the band) would be proud, and humbled. This administration is the greatest heist of dollars in human history, stealing it from the poor and giving it to the rich.

Here’s to the existance of fiery hell. Cheers!

BO, even though he became President and moved to DC, retained most of the hallmarks of the average Chicago politician. If you’re familiar at all with pre-revolution China, you’ll remember the mandarin class – people who, through knowing the right friends or giving large gifts to the right people, received appointments to government positions from which they could insist that citizens who needed something from the mandarin’s department had to pay the mandarin a large fee to start the process. Mandarins typically became hugely wealthy after just a few years in their offices.

BO is re-establishing the mandarin class here in the USA. Look at how a small circle of people who have been Friends of Barack for years and years have all become rather fantastically wealthy. watch as he sets up more and more departments as their own little kingdoms, with free rein to shave money out of any and all processes they run. Look at his big “accomplishments” such as the GM hijacking, Obamacare with its waivers, DOJ and Fast ‘n Furious, DOJ and it refusal to investigate voter fraud unless Democrats lost votes through it, all of his Green Energy programs . . . The list just keeps going.

Here’s what ties everything together: Obama is moving the presidency, along with all of his executive-branch departments, away from the safe, predictable, fair Rule of Law, and over to the Rule of Whoever Has Barack’s Support This Month, or the Rule of a Man, for short.You will no longer be able to look at the law and know what you can or can’t do. You’ll not be able to tell ahead of time what penalty you might pay if you violate the law. There will be no continuity to our system anymore; instead, if you want to find out where you stand, or if you want to use some statutory provision to help you, you’ll need to go, hat in hand, to the bureaucrat in charge and beg for a favor. Because the law won’t grant you rights – it’ll grant the bureaucrats the power to say yes or no.

And to charge you for saying it, like the mandarins.
