Solyndra was retarded, admittedly and Obama is a numbnut. You invest taxpayer dollars in firm with costs at $1200/panel that sold for $900? I hardly think the solar industry constitutes ridiculous spending. Two wars running in excess of four trillion dollars thanks to your messiah. wtf return on capital did we get on those?
So it was retarded, but not ridiculous? Seriously? We could have begun pulling out of Afghanistan in early 2009. That is if YOUR Nobel peace price winning messiah wanted us out.
you have me confused with someone else or your mirror. seriously... you could not be much more wrong. If you go back to early days of this board you will see a few guys traded in my office back then. A few of them were at my wedding. I am still married 14 years later and we have kids. When I tell you I am motivated to fight this leftist big govt bullshit for their sake I am not kidding. If any of this were just for me, I would probably just go back to trading full time instead of working the business I own. I made less money trading but it was what I loved doing.
You hillfuck cannot read. The PE investments were a black hole. Solar and renewables are a global necessity. We wouldn't have been there w/o your messiah. Four to six trillion, dipshit. All because he wanted to finish what his daddy could not. Along with those traitors Schwarzkopf and Powell. They should all be serving life in Leavenworth.
Maybe you won't believe this but i after i had read a couple of your posts i thought it looked like ol pabst, but then i thought, naw, he couldn't be taking the side of this global warming crap. What happened?! Pabst, did you switch sides on us or r u just screwing around?
