We know that there's a long pattern of Issa co-mingling public and private business. And we know the DoE loan would have been a big boost to an investment of a major Republican money-man. And Issa's track record thus far doesn't recommend the benefit of the doubt. 2011-09-22T00:00:58+00:00 http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/issa_sought_funds_via_easy_way_to_end_up_with_corruption_in_government http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/issa_sought_funds_via_easy_way_to_end_up_with_corruption_in_government#When:19:05:33Z   Since the questionable intermingling between Issa's public behavior and private investments has already merited ethics charges, Issa is uniquely positioned to comment on the issue. Turns out, by Darrell Issa's own assessment, corruption gets into government via all the mechanisms he's used to steer taxpayer dollars to his own pet projects.   Good to know. 2011-09-21T19:05:33+00:00 http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/out_of_excuses_issa_contradicts_himself_in_avoiding_newscorp http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/out_of_excuses_issa_contradicts_himself_in_avoiding_newscorp#When:21:39:06Z If he doesn't investigate NewsCorp, it's only because Darrell Issa just doesn't want to. Just like all the rest. 2011-09-20T21:39:06+00:00 http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/issa_vs._economic_growth http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/issa_vs._economic_growth#When:23:36:18Z The Green Jobs sector has consistently shown strong growth through the recent economic turmoil, at nearly twice the rate of the economy overall. By all accounts, it should be exactly the sort of success that anyone serious about more job creation would want to foster. But for Darrell Issa -- whose jobs platform costs the country millions of jobs, and the regulations he's been battling for his entire tenure? Well, they spur innovation, turn a profit, and help strengthen the economy. The agenda is increasingly clear. 2011-09-19T23:36:18+00:00 http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/regulations_turn_a_profit_spur_innovation http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/regulations_turn_a_profit_spur_innovation#When:19:50:45Z So far, House Republicans haven't been too high on the Obama Jobs Plan, insisting that regulations are the path to a better budget and stronger economy. Certainly Darrell Issa has made de-regulation the centerpiece of his year, and one of his least favorite new regulations -- improving greenhouse gas standards -- will be delayed. Leaving aside for the moment that Issa's agenda costs millions of jobs  without proposing to directly create a single one, it's still running into the tough reality that these regulations actually help the economy. A new report explains how regulations have traditionally been crucial to spurring innovation and keeping our economy moving. And Obama's billion dollar rules could bring in more than ten times their cost, topping $200 billion. 2011-09-16T19:50:45+00:00 http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/ethics_complaint_filed_time_to_hold_issa_accountable http://issaexposed.couragecampaign.org/index.php/site/page/ethics_complaint_filed_time_to_hold_issa_accountable#When:21:36:10Z 2011-09-15T21:36:10+00:00
