Halliburton, the great destroyer....



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/halliburton-may-be-culpri_n_558481.html

another example of how this careless "let's make as much money as we can, even if it means cutting corners and putting employee's in danger" attitude that has corrupted our country.

halliburton, ripping us tax payers off for years now. billions and billions of dollars have been paid to this company to supply everything for our troops in iraq and afghanistan, and they are are terrible at it. exploiting the united stated, along with you and me, the taxpayer.

wouldnt you be pissed if you hired a guy to paint your house, and when he came to do the job he used the cheapest possible paint, didnt finish the work, and didnt even clean up...but still charged you full price, along with a few additional fee's?

thats what halliburton has been doing to the united states for the past 8 or 9 years.

now, this same company's incompetence in the work that they do is likely to be the culprit in the biggest oil spill in the history of the world (literally)....and its headed right for our gulf coast!

and to think, this is our former vice president, dick cheney's company, and he still holds a butt load of stock options with them.

so the former VP of the united states is profiting from the worst things to be happening to the united states.

go corporate america!

iran

so in the news there are reports of iran bombing villages in northern iraq. what happens if iran where to send a military into iraq? its not like iraq has a real army, and the one they do have is barely holding itself together. iraqs military force is the united states. who has the responsibility of defending iraq? with hundreds of billions of our tax money invested in the war there is no way the united states wont flex its muscle. if iran goes into iraq we will no longer be in a war of choice. its a war of necessity if iran is purposely blowing things up near american "peace keeping" soldiers. maybe thats the whole point of this war. i think the united states is picking a fight. war! war! war!

for profit.

these conservatives, republicans, and "others" (greed mongers) that encourage privatizing our "public" education and instead boost "for profit" charter school trip me out. why do they like to compare what we should be doing to places like "south korea" and "china", and suggest that somehow they have it right on education, and that we should follow the lead. they actually make a case that a class of 100 kids is better than a class of 30, just as long as we pay the teachers more money and invest in a little more training. since when does the unites states strive to be like south korea, or china? no offense to south korea, but for the benefit of making something more profitable, these guys will kick any sense of american pride out the window. whatever happened to patriotism? when did money pass pride as something to admire? they back up their ideas with skewed facts, polls, surveys, etc., and in a lot of instances, just plain lies. the rea...

this blog sort of jumps around, but i like most of its content...

i think as the presidential race unfolds its becoming clear that the race divide in this country is still very present. there is also a great divide in this country when it comes to who has money and who does not. the rich people seem to think all is well with our economy and we are still a strong nation. maybe for those with a couple million in the bank, it probably would be hard to understand the basic needs of the everyday american. i feel that john mccain is a guy that represents so many things that are wrong with our country right now. he is rich, old, son of a military big wig, a former military big wig himself, and white. we is the sort of guy that owns 7 homes and has $100 million in the bank, but wants to run a country where only about 2% of the population can even begin to relate to his way of living. and also a country that is feeling very pinched in the wallet, due in large part to his party’s hot streak of bad economic policies. what does john mccain really have to offer u...
