http://projects.propublica.org/bailout/main/summary The total amount invested in Fannie and Freddie so far is $169 billion. They have returned none of the money invested so far—and might never do so. |

How much money is left to pay by specifically the BANKS, escpecially any large institutions? How much did the banks pay in dividends, interest, etc.? Did you know that the government forced many of the banks to take the money even though they didn't want it? It was described by a top CEO of a bank as a scene out of the god father. Many knew they didn't want it because of the unintended consequences of taking the money, which in turn is a major part of the problem with the economy. Banks are afraid to lend money to anyone with any risk because of the government intervention into their business. |

The company applied for a loan guarantee in December 2006, filing under a program created by George W. Bush's administration. It received a conditional commitment for $535 million in March 2009, shortly before Spinner arrived. In the months that followed, department staffers negotiated the final terms and provided the Office of Management and Budget with data as it assessed the risks of the deal. In August 2009, while that risk assessment was underway, White House officials began expressing interest in having Vice President Joe Biden announce the deal during a trip to California the following month, according to emails released to House investigators this week. That spurred exchanges between officials at the White House, the Energy Department and the OMB about whether they could speed up the final approval.Spinner was the recipient of at least one of the emails, administration officials confirmed Friday — an Aug. 25, 2009, message from Biden's office saying that "we would want the VP [to] satellite into the event on 9/4. It's the same day the unemployment numbers come out, and we'd want to use this as an example where the Recovery Act is helping create new high tech jobs." |

No, better to try and create political drama where little exists! Even though Solandra was going belly up a year ago. The worse that happened here was yeah, the government gave money to a company that lost it. You know, like we've done before? Boeing ring a bell? The capitalist free market - it sucks when it's a real company, and not a money-making set-up like many of the Wall Street stock manipulations that pass for "business" today.
