News flash for you ted... Middlesex Truck and Coach is not Solyndra. They actually are a success and are paying back the loan. Not the public.... The owners are through hard work.

Except they lied........said they didn't need gov't help when they did. No one accused them of failing...........just making claims that are not true.

I have friends who worked at Solyndra. I live within driving distance of Solyndra. And when we see a American story which is a failure become a political football and additionally have the Chinese laughing at our failure and their success in that technology, it just makes me feel that to clean this poisonous atmosphere, certain things need to be destroyed and we need to start over again.

These failures are Americans losing out to foreign competition. It is not about a man with a skin color that is not white or a big fat man with a radio show or a politician with a twang in is tongue winning or losing. The world laughed when America marched over 140000- troops into a sovereign country to chase the shadow of WMD that was never there. The world is laughing today at the stupidity of selling the democracy to foreign money interests, to an Australian named Rupert etc. etc. And now we have a Presidential candidate who values foreign more than he values the US, who has greater faith in their monetary system than the US system since he saves his money overseas. And Americans are even considering hiring him as their President is bloody laughable.
