750 people at GS Technologies lost their jobs thanks to a bad deal engineered by Bain Capital. 15 million lost jobs after the cumulative deal-making of the entire financial sector pushed the whole economy off a cliff. Comparatively, Solyndra was a rounding error.

(based upon the writings of Robert Reich)
