Big difference if you are honest in looking at this topic.
Romney loaned $1.5 million. Obama gave away $500 million. BIG DIFFERENCE
$1.5 million was paid back with interest long before the company failed. Which made it a good investment.
$500 million disappeared in a deal where Solyndra bought Photon Solar in India.
The loan was supposed to help expand their California plant to handle $4 billion in work contracted for solar power plants in California.
Instead all of the work slated for the Solyndra plant in California was moved off shore to India when the California plant closed in 2011.
The loan was linked to the Califonia plant so the parent company, Solyndra, was able to walk away from it without paying a dime.
That investment did not work out too good for the taxpayers.
BIG DIFFERENCE
The $1.5 million was from a dedicated fund setup for such uses. The $500 million was borrowed money our government was giving away. BIG DIFFERENCE.
