Halliburton got $2.5 billion in no-bid contracts from the Clinton administration for work in Kosovo. The fact that they got more money from a different administration in a larger conflict is not surprising, but the problem with getting that much money is that people forget the value of money. I'm not sure if this was Halliburton, but there was one company that spent millions of dollars for their workers to shack up in a 5-star hotel, rather than having them stay at the 3-star hotel that had been rented out for the workers to live in. It's that kind of crap that infuriates me--the complete waste of money because there's so much of it in the government, they forget what $100,000 means to a normal family. That's more than most families make in a year, and the government spends that much like it's nothing.
