Electric Car Battery Maker A123 Systems Files Bankruptcy - Bloomberg

Almost a billion dollars between Solyndra and these bastards.

Here’s the funny part: Barack Obama likes to talk about venture capitalists and investment bankers.  He even pointed out that at 40%, his success rate with these crappy green frauds is better than a Wall Street firm.

The problem, as is obvious to anyone but a died-in-the-wool class warrior, is that the bankers use their own money or money that is voluntarily invested.  Government confiscates, at the tip of a gun, your earned wealth, and then pays back political favors with it at no cost to the government itself.

So yes, Mr. President, your sucess rate may be higher, but putting a gun to my head and forcing me to fund a green debacle (or many, as the case may be) is not the same as asking me to invest and me choosing, upon my on free will, to do so.
