Solyndra is being investigated by the FBI, but that may just be the tip of the shovel-ready iceberg.
The Department of Energy is investigating more than 100 potential instances of criminal abuse of stimulus loan monies, according to the department’s Office of Inspector General.
In prepared testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, Energy Department Inspector General Gregory Friedman said his office has launched more than 100 probes into possible criminal activities related to the 2009 stimulus funds behind the loans.

I understand now. “Shovel ready” meant that they were just shoveling the money out the door.

So if there were no shovel ready jobs, then the money is still there. Or, of course it was stolen.
My dog makes more shovel ready jobs than the entire Congress put together. But not as much manure.

“Perhaps Obama will just fire the pesky Inspector General.”
I wonder if this is a civil position or an appointed one?

To answer my own question, it’s a Presidential appointment confirmed by the Senate, but it would look “pretty bad” to resign under these conditions.
