True, Haliburton getting a giant contract with no competition and no accountability is more like that nightmare scenario that right-wingers attribute to unions.  The whole Haliburton contract just cut competition, capitalism, and accountability out of the equation and set taxpayers up to be reamed while thanking the government for "keeping us safe" the whole time.

It's infuriatingly brilliant.

Well, yea if you want this country to be run based off the teachings of Christ.  You Jesus freak!
