where are the jobs? You spent nearly $1 trillion on a stimulus bill that failed. Now you want to spend another $450 billion on another stimulus bill. This is simply repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome. Solyndra is an example of the waste and failure of your stimulus bill. This company in the solar industry is a crony of your administration. Solyndra's backers were friends of your Presidential campaign, and the company received friendly treatment from your administration. Solyndra was supposed to create green jobs, but now more than a thousand are laid off. They got a $535 million taxpayer- subsidized loan, but they are now bankrupt and their officers are taking the Fifth Amendment. We must help the American economy create jobs by freeing job creators from regulations that stifle growth, expand production of competitive and affordable energy, stop threatening job creators with higher taxes, and stop wasting taxpayers' money. Mr. Speaker, no more Solyndras. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair. ____________________
