On Friday, March 31, President Obama proclaimed the month of April as “National Financial Capability Month.” He called on all Americans to, “observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices.” I kid you not.

It’s a shame that the Obama administration didn’t pay as much attention to the details of Solyndra’s business plans and financial liabilities as it did to the details of the President’s photo op at the company’s facility on May 26, 2010. But, given the rampant mismanagement and weaknesses associated with the Energy Department’s whole loan [...]
