    Gee Andy, you make it sound serious, but is it?

    Fascinating how now Medical equipment is an emergency, yet in 2015 you spent $750 million on a failed solar power scheme. So you want the rest of the country to bail you out after making a $750 million dollar mistake. You had the opportunity to buy 16,000 ventilators, but squandered it on "scandal-plagued “Buffalo Billion” solar power scheme". Why on earth should we care what you get from the Federal Government? Take it up with your Governor.

    This is the guy they will try to slip in Biden's place at the convention. The guy that wasted $750 million dollars of the taxpayers money on Solar rather than buy the respirators desperately needed now. That eliminates him from being President as he has no foresight.

    You honestly expect the left to process this when they cant even be honest enough to realize the shortages of critical medical supplies was a thing in 2015 and all through Mr. Obatards eight years of stupidity..

    To the left, this is just a very recent shortage LOLOL

    Trump could have bought 2,000 ventilators instead of wasting $120 million going golfing. Golfing never had a chance of a return on investment, at least the solar had some return by supplying training in the solar industry for future jobs. Guess that eliminates Trump from being President as he had no foresight.

    Solar in NY is just a great boondoggle. I grew up in Connecticut, the sun only shines 50% of the time. Besides 2000 ventilators across all 50 states (Trump is Federal Government) would be an extra 40 per state. Cuomo had the chance to buy 16,000 new ventilators for NY alone and decided to waste the money on a solar gamble. He and the taxpaying residents of NY lost. Turned out to be a very bad decision. Why would anyone with this extreme lack of vision and priorities be Presidential material?

    New Jersey has quite a few large solar panel arrays covering several acres near Flemington N.J and most of their highway lighting is run from a single attached solar panel. Much of which was installed while Republican Christie was governor. One of the few good things he did.

    He must be busy, or worse yet padded figures like most of Mr Obatard accomplishments and records!

    Just because you don't like them or they sound icky doesn't mean they are a viable tool in business.

    If the green new deal had been passed how much surplus would have been left in the economy to handle this current crisis?

    The bodies would line the streets.

    Obama went golfing the day the National Emergency was announced for H1N1.

    Trump went Golfing on March 8th and 9th, just when the virus was really taking hold in this country, and flew all the way down to Palm Beach to do it. And people trusted Obama’s government so we didn’t have the financial panic that we are having now.

    Yes, if Obama had not played golf when the national emergency was announced in 2009 we would not be in the trouble we are in today.

    It’s as if he had no idea there would be a virus spreading around five years into the future.
