We could use some digging, too
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I’ve been reading about the problems that politicians are having in England. Cheating on expenses, using government facilities to excess and lying about it. Is it possible that we could borrow the people who made this public and have them look into our congress and current administration? I’m sure they would find it to be fertile ground to uncover more than found in England and save the US taxpayer a bundle. An alternative would be to have our press and other media to do their job.

Dan, did you see the story the last day or two about the military contracts that are going just about completely unaudited and unchecked? Of course, THAT particular set of problems pre-dates this administration, so it’s not an issue, is it?
hs…lets add Halliburton(darth vader use to be CEO) to the list. There susidiary KBR is the one who was responsible for the execution of American soldiers in Irag due to shoddy electrical work.
Hey at least in England the politicians don’t steal elections then implode their own office buildings to initiate a war in a deceitful yet transparent effort to dominate world energy resouces and consumption, all the while blatantly ignoring the looming threat that consumption of said resources poses to life on our planet. No, only in America…Mr. Gilbert doesn’t seem too eager to acknowledge that his preferred political party has already ushered in the end of the world as we knew it.
KRB, a sub of Haliburton did the shoddy and scabby electrical work. This is rapidly becoming one of the greatest military scams in our nation’s history.
Haliburton received $32 billion from Bush/Cheney. It’s a financial, and often fatal, disaster which the corporate Republican party finds humorous.
Makes garden hoses purchased by members of the British Parliment look silly.
Garrison,
How much will KBR be receiving from Obama this year?

If it is an issue why isn’t this administration doing something about it? Maybe it’s not as big an issue as you think!
Bud1969…You talking about investigations or indictments?
Haliburton and all of it’s subs.need to be investigated and audited thoroughly.
Right on Garrison!
Cheney’s personal stock portfolio is looking mighty good right now!
NO-BID CONTRACTS ONLY AWARDED UNDER BUSH/CHENEY ADMINISTRATION. HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME COMPANY CHENEY WAS CEO OF UP UNTIL 2000. COINCEDENCE, I THINK NOT!
If a democratic President would of done this, impeachment proceedings would of followed.

Damn, every once in awhile this crazy broad is right. A democrat President did award KBR a contract and was eventually impeached. Granted his impeachment had to do with perjury and not contracts, but you have to admit, if you spew crazy often enough, you may end up right once.

Garrison and debrasgd13,
How much will Haliburton and its subsidiaries be receiving this year from the zero’s administration? Check that out and let the rest of us know. A democratic president is doing it now. Haliburton is still receiving contracts from the Government.
