I guess we need to tax the rich to make up for this.

yea but there's a lady in Wisconsin that was posting politcal comments on government time. Heck if she spent 10% of her day, every work day for a year and makes 100K that's $10,000 gone. There are strict laws you know.

OK it would take 53,500 of her to equal the loss but what's money? :zz::wf

The money being gone isn't any more criminal than the money being gone into CEO bonuses for the banks that were bailed out.

If there was something illegal going on, absolutely heads should roll.

Not to mention the two felony convictions for money laundering of Walker's campaign funds that came out of the investigation already ;)

Really, Dell, when someone posts a link, you should read the entire thing - not just the excerpts on the list.

Excuse me, but why am I a hypocrite? I never defended Rezko or Hsu.

I accept your apology.

Your silence, especially on Rezko, represents your defense especially in light of your concern regarding campaign finance laws.

No apology offered.

Do you have anything implicating Obama with Solyndra or you simply being opportunistic and blaming Obama for everything not right in the world?

It's a prediction that when all the evidence and data is in, there will be a more significant link uncovered between Washington and that corporation.

There are emails from within the administration pushing this government loan along, when others were saying to slow down because its not a viable company. Solyndra guys are huge Obama donor's. As high up as Rahm Emanuel were involved with pushing the loan through. Are you suggesting Obama is not responsible for his Chief of Staff?

but we'll see what happens. Solyndra will get in more trouble than Obama's administration. They may have been providing bad numbers. I think we've seen this before.

Well this definitely tops the no-bid contract for Halliburton. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Gotti was so right.


He really did say the only difference between his work place and the government's is the government has a license to steal.
