To quote Gomer Pyle, "Suprise Surprise" :D
Nancy Pelosi, who you recall pledged to run the most ethical House in US history, her brother in law was able to snag himself a nice solar loan:

Giving to Dems seems to be a profitable investment if you are in the solar industry, give contributions and get a loan guarantee:

Of course, this all still pales in the biggest example of Democrat crony capitalism, General Electric

It's funny that she had GE's CEO, whose company paid no taxes, and a union boss, whose union is like a leech that sucks businesses dry, as her guest in in a joint house session designed to talk about job growth.
