Zilch. Nothing. None of those things that apparently make this country so great. None of the capitalistic war machine that made WWII into a depression-killing capitalistic venture. Nope, Haliburton can charge taxpayers whatever they choose and if you don't like it you just hate the troops and you want a bunch of brown people to waltz right over here and kill us all.
It is an amazingly flawed business model propped up by misinformation and smear tactics. It's brilliant.
It's funny that Haliburton is the only no bid company you guys even know about. Can't figure out why that is. I've got a suspicion though.
I am against no bid contracts unless there is some sort of national security reason or some other valid reasons I am not aware of, or there is only one company capable of performing the task. It's just when I only ever see one name attached to no bid contracts, the whole outrage thing feels kinda...phony...know what I mean?
