BY CHRISTOPHER MIMS 16 SEP 2011 12:21 PM Philip Bump of Green for All responded to our request to create an infographic comparing the cost of the Solyndra "scandal" to the Defense Department's greatest boondoggles. We think it speaks for itself. http://www.grist.org/list/2011-09-16-solyndra-scandal-vs.-the-defense-departments-biggest-boondoggles

4. It would be nice if the news organizations picked this up! |
|
Of course, Fox would NEVER show it, but maybe CNN or MSNBC.

6. Then ask them why they have been silent regarding the $4 billion that... |
|
...disappeared down a rat hole in Iraq. Palletloads of cash GONE. Where is their outrage? Hypocritical, brain-dead shitbags.

15. You sound like you are 15, and your poutrage is noted. |
|
Let me explain- The RW'ers whine about Solyndra being this incredibly bad thing. Yet they said and continue to say nothing about these other waste and fraud scandals, backed by republican presidents and congress'. If you wish to act as if this scandal is exactly the same as those, fine. But they aren't. And if you expect government to always work perfectly, you might as well resign yourself to a life of disappointment. However, it is clear that the big fraud money is in military and homeland security, two areas the Republicans just love, and fight to continue and increase. Unlike clean energy.
