Solyndra was a lost bet, but there are always risks




Reasons to agree:




  1. “Hindsight is always 20-20,” Obama told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in October of 2011. “It went through the regular review process. And people felt like this was a good bet.” Solyndra didn’t work out, but that’s the kind of risk the United States must take to compete with countries like China that subsidize solar power.




Reasons to disagree:



  1. The economy shouldn't be investing in green economy when we are in debt. 

  2. Their are no risks when the federal government supports basic fundamental research that results in greater general understanding. There was no need for risks like Solyndra.

        The Bush taxes were bad




        Reasons to agree:




        1. The Bush taxes only helped the very wealthy.

        2. The Bush taxes contributed to the US national debt. 

        3. John Feehery. "Opinion: Obama’s fatal missteps." The Hill. October 3rd, 2011: "5. Signed an extension of President Bush’s tax cuts: After campaigning against and complaining about George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the rich, Obama meekly signed a two-year extension of those same tax cuts. By reversing course, Obama did three things. He exposed himself as a man who will blink when put to the test. He made the deficit situation much worse. He has not in any way, shape or form put himself in a stronger rhetorical position for his reelection. He is making the same ineffective arguments that he made last year, and it will likely yield the same result."
