535 million dollars in taxpayer money, flushed down the drain by Obama and crew to fund a company that everyone knew was going bankrupt, will be just the tip of the iceberg if what the Washington Post is reporting is true:
If the 20 companies that have won loans so far deliver all the new jobs they have promised, they will hire a total of 8,050 new workers for permanent positions. Half of those 20 companies have neither created nor saved any permanent jobs yet; several won their loans only recently.

The following is a collection of just such events. Continue reading
Conservatives traditionally resist government intrusion into the home and personal lives of American citizens: Liberals tend to welcome the guiding hand of government into every facet of modern life.
