Profit made by others is wrong. Profits made by me are o.k. Isn't that really what this boils down to? The government controls and regulates commerce, they control defense spending. Perhaps all that is needed is for them to do their jobs, we don't need more laws and empty political statments.
I think we generally know the target of this is Haliburton. When Haliburton was a government supplier, making a profit, 40 years ago (and every year since), that was o.k. Now under the Bush administration they are profiteering and have been for the last 6 years, everyone has known about it, they continue doing it, and Congress and the military sit back and do nothing. I am looking forward to the hearings and for the facts to come out. But let me be the first to go on record here to say nothing is going to come of this. I think the facts will show Haliburton was not profiteering.
