Subject:	$20M taxpayer loan for Ukraine dealership?!?!?
Date:	8/17/2012 11:43:56 AM

This is exactly what Charles Koch highlighted in his piece about crony capitalism. Turns out a big Obama/Biden supporter got a $20M loan from the taxpayers to build a luxury auto dealership in the Ukraine. All I can say is WTF!! If he wants to do that use his own money or go get a loan from a bank or some investor. Why should the govt take money from me at the point of a gun and lend it to some donor of TOTUS and his imbecile in waiting. This is what is wrong with the federal govt and why I believe in it being limited.

If only I have 1/20th of that, I would be set at Lake Store. But, I'm only a small family business serving local citizens.

is to chum up to TOTUS or his sidekick. Of course you also need to have a business plan with two key elements: 1) some tie to green energy; and 2) a program that is doomed to fail.......but I repeat the main criteria. Oh and by the way, I would not mention your little speed boat.......unless it can be run on batteries.......

Extortion is far cheaper, make sure you have high quality photos and video... The only downside, is that you may end up like an associate of a former President - shooting yourself in the back of the head...
