Obama’s Labor Department Approves Deal Giving Ex-Solyndra Staff $13,000 Each In Federal Aid…
One last kick to the face.
(IBD) — The Labor Department today announced that it had approved Trade Adjustment Assistance for the former employees of the bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra.
That means all of the firm’s 1,100 ex-employees are eligible for federal aid packages, including job retraining and income assistance. The department has valued packages at about $13,000 a head.
Taxpayers will have to cough up yet another $14.3 million as a result of Solyndra’s bankruptcy. They are already on the hook for $528 million in federal loan guarantees to the company that are unlikely to ever be paid back.

Barry has no shame in spending our future.
If my company went under because of inept management, don’t think I would get jack shit.
This is an absolute looting of the Treasury, our money is being pissed away at warp speed. Where did it all go, who benefited, and how much was returned to the DemocRATic party via the ‘back door’?
Like Levin says about Dear Leader (as I’ve called him forever, among other things)…’Diabolic.’
@ DG
You must be listening to Mark Levin right now!

Our great country is going to collapse before this money can be paid back. There is no way in the world the amount of money barry and his ilk are spending can even be earned in the real world.
Americans just love being ripped off by these commie bastards . Just the beginning .
Go fuck yourself Obama!

You bet! I hardly think that foreign competition had any role to play in this fiasco. More likely it was the Chicago Mob that is to blame…
“…the firm’s 1,100 ex-employees are eligible for federal aid packages, including job retraining…”
===============================
job retraining?
but…but… what happened to the Commiecrat green energy jobs promise?
AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
Where did all of this money go in such a short period ($528-million)? That is the least we can expect to know as taxpayers.
But, no – we will never know and some prick somewhere is right now trying to decide how big his new yacht will be.
Fire Congress now.
Obummer a real Son of a Bitch.
Those frauds need waterboarding to never scam the tax payers again.
Retraining? You can’t retrain a moron.
Take it outta BO and Co.’s profits, of which there are many. Oh, wait, that’s ours, too. What a fucking sham. And there’s more to come. Bet on it. Great. Just great.
VOTE – 2012
Govt job retraining probably means they have to show up at a site where no-one speaks English so they will qualify for add’l govt money.
I never got “job retraining” when I lost a job in the private world. Update your freak’n resume & do what everyone else does.
I am sure Liberals are fine with this.
and this is not a scandal? The level of corruption in our country is starting to resemble Nigeria or a banana republic.
I’ve commented about this before and worth mentioning the case at http://LawInjustice.com again, in which a Dallas business owner was involved in a civil dispute and paid millions of dollars to lawyers, and when he objected to additional fees after settling the case, they had a “friendly” judge, appointed by President Clinton, seize all of his possessions, without any notice or hearing, and essentially ordered him under “house arrest” as an involuntary servant to the lawyers and denied a jury trial. The business owner has been under this “servant” order for 10 months and is prohibited from owning any possessions, prohibited from working, etc..
Gee,I wonder how much of this $13,000 is required to be “contributed” to Dear Leader’s re-election campaign??
Why would they need retrained, I thought green jobs were the future.
President downgrade, go fuck yourself with your beard’s dick.
You commie rat bastard. And you ARE a bastard, I have seen no marriage or divorce certificates for your commie mommie ho or your drunken, dead beat POS old man.
Congress:
Take all the money away from this administration. They have proven that they don’t know how to handle it.
No good green pigs this old shorebirds realy angry now
NO! NO! NO!
Why are taxpayers retraining those cutting-edge “green” guys? Don’t they have the latest skill set?
Un-effin’-believable.
Audacity is right.
My GOD, I hope we survive the coming year in order to throw his ass out.
Was the place unionized? I’ll bet it was…..and this is just more union payback.
Just as I thought, they are union employees and Obama is making sure they get their money. While the taxpayers can just go f**k themselves.
