Government the answer you say?

That has been reported....

 

Those that purchase a new Fisker Karma will also get the $7,500.00 tax credit!!!

Thanks again taxpayers!!!

 

First I heard that Ms Palin had said anything about it. That said how anyone could not deem this newsworthy when our government is in such a horrendous fiscal state is beyond me. This investment was highly speculative at best and shouldn't have been done....

Of course this comes to light at a time when as late as last week, our former community organizer of a President said: "I still say Solyndra was a good bet."

Really?

 

Well at least we don't give but $300million a year in foreign aid to China, money that we borrow from them and then give back in aid.....in part to develop their energy programs.

Go big government, your doing a great job with my tax dollar!!!

PS: If they have the money to loan us in the first place why don't we skip paying the interest on the $300million and just let them take care of it in the first place?

 

Won't debate the numbers or whether we should have gone into those places in the first place. That said I will say that this path of "Nation Building" is ridiculous and wasteful in not only money but most importantly in our most valuable commodity; the soldiers lives that defend us. If a regime becomes too much of a threat to us or their neighbors that are our allies, we should then go in and take it out, then pack up and leave. If the people of that country then allow another despot to take over and become a threat again...say 8, 10, 12 years down the road then we can go back and drop the hammer again.......then leave.

Most the lives lost and money spent in these conflicts are in the years of nation building, years that don't fully seem to be appreciated by the very people we are supposed to be helping as evidenced by recent events......

A small effective government for the win!

PS: An oppressive regime, one that tortures it's own people, should also be on the hit list.

 

Simply, waste is waste no matter the size.

 

What was the purpose and function of the Department of Energy when it was formed and what is it's budget for 2011?

 

.....after that, what was the purpose and function of the Department of Education when it was formed and what is it's budget for 2011?

 

What was the purposes and function of the Federal Government when it was formed and what is it's budget for 2011?

 

What was the purpose and function of Welfare when it was formed and what us it's budget for 2011?

 

What was the purpose and function of Social Security and what is it's budget for 2011?

 

What was the purpose and function of Medicare when it was formed and what is it's budget for 2011?

 

Just a few things there but then let's examine whether or not they have succeeded in their intended pupose and if they have ever and if they are still functioning as intended....
