House Republicans are pressing forward with a probe into a $535 million loan guarantee to a California-based solar panel manufacturer, charging that the Obama administration may have improperly awarded the loan to a company whose major investor was a bundler for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
The company, Solyndra, Inc., announced earlier this week that it will file for bankruptcy, putting 1,100 employees out of work and likely leaving taxpayers on the hook for much of the massive loan.

You can’t blame Unions for this one. Good old corporate executives stole/wasted all that money from the solar company. That’s why the FBI knocked down their doors this morning…..they’re not looking for Union leaders, they’re after the CEO and his free market buddies.
