“I respect my colleague, and I think he has some valid points; however, we repeat this mistake over and over again when we invest in failed projects that continually end up costing the taxpayers money and then we end up selling it to a Third World or some other country, and our taxpayers are losing money. I, for, one, would like to send a message to the Department telling them we as taxpayers don't want to see them wasting money, and, hopefully, this will be a shot across the bow where they are more studious with our money and more aware of the taxpayers' concern that they should not invest in every kind of program. In fact, the administration just again loaned more money to solar panels, which, again, is going to go bankrupt. In fact, almost all the solar panels which they have loaned money to have all gone bankrupt, and that ends up coming out of the pockets of the taxpayers. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.”
