If the administration is in the pocket of HalleBurton, why is the Pentagon investigating them?

This is the same company that sends out niave americans in battle zones, they get beheaded, and the company could care less and throws out another niave unemployed american with fake promises of how "safe" it is.

The reason we're broke is cuz all our money is going towards conglomerates like Halib. What's scary is -- there is NO price-checking on what they charge. No auditing or competition. $200 spoon? Fine by us.

They're not the worst. There's a HUGE industry of FOREIGN corporations that get billion dollar contracts. Many based in Israel, Cayman Islands (run by americans for tax purposes), Germany. Bet ya didn't know that!

So much for government being frugal and discretionary with our money.

The most-common phrase when doing contracts with the gov't is: "How much do you need?".

How do i know? Cuz i'm working on one. $5 million, and my client doesn't have to show shit for at least 3 years. Gotta love it!
