    I get what you are saying, There WAS mass destruction, by definition it makes sense. however I do see the point you are making its like the democrats claiming racism when one disagrees with obama, If you throw a word around too often for the wrong reasons, it loses its oomph

    you clearly have no idea what carp do to a water system. Where I live they took over in the past 30 years, 90% of the normal fish are gone, It really is a major problem and here we have a simple way to keep them from in essence destroying all the fish in our biggest natural waterways. I was actually unaware of the issue in the OPs area but as someone who knows first hand how damaging carp can be, I have to side with him. Why should we focus on the large picture when we cant even focus on the small (comparatively speaking)

    ACTUALLY... Bush and co said no before they left office, they only got it once obama came in

    http://blogs.investors.com/capitalhill/index.php/home/35-politicsinvesting/2780-no-bush-really-didnt-ok-the-solyndra-loans

    For example, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., ranking Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce investigation subcommittee, asked Friday, “Whether the Bush and Obama administration conducted due diligence on the loan guarantee.” But the facts don’t justify this claim. The bottom line remains that the Bush Administration did not approve the Solyndra loan guarantee. And just before they headed out of town, Bush officials ordered the project back to the drawing board. Democrats argue the Energy Department first received the loan request in December 2006. By January 2009, it was still under consideration. That month, the department’s Loan Guarantee Credit Committee put the project on hold. In a terse one-page memo, dated Jan. 9, 2009, the committee noted that the “apparent haste in recommending the project meant that certain LGPO (Loan Guarantee Program Office) credit procedures were not adhered to.” It further stated that: “While the project appears to have merit, there are several areas where the information presented did not thoroughly support a finding that the project is ready to be approved at this time.” It then cited four areas of concern.

    The constitution does not list the powers that the federal government does NOT have. It lists the ones that they do

    ANYTHING NOT in the constitution, is NOT suposed to be allowed to be done by the federal government. (10th amendment)

    Personally I think you progressives need to try reading it. Pay close attention to number 2 - 4 - and 10

    In fact, for the last 5 years, we have dropped more than any other single nation

    interesting, In the time that we are going broke faster than anytime since the late 20s, when people have less money to spend, we are producing less CO2. I know coloration!=causation but it is interesting none the less.

    people have less money, people are using less energy

    We can come up with numerous fuckups on obama (and bush, to humor the liberals) but solyndra is the big one. Thats like saying Iraq is bushes only fuckup because its the one we talk about the most

    no, it is not OUR money, Learn something about taxes. A tax writeoff does not cost us anything, unless we pretend that we dont own our own money and we are only borrowing it from the government.

    it is the government who needs to stop spending monney it doesnt have and expecting XXXX so they spend XXXX. If a private company or a person ran their company or life the way the government does, the IRS would be after them faster than a tea party group
