Absolutely Stunning!

Some bits and pieces, stolen and paraphrased from Jim Hightower’s website, “The Homeland Security Department (HSD) … “recently held a corporate seminar, entitled "The Business of Homeland Security," offering "tips, hints, and directions" on how to grab the latest contracts and grants.” Does that surprise you?

“…government contracting has boomed under George W, rising 86% since he's been in office and now totaling nearly $400 billion a year.”

Do you think that might make for a conflict of interest? Working for the good of the people or for the good of the stockholders? “Since the BushCheney regime took office, Halliburton's government contracts have increased by a stunning 600%, including more than $10 billion in Pentagon contracts”

Ya know, I used to think that HSD’s main job was to tell us what color day we were supposed to have; "Good morning, Americans. Today is Yellow. Be vigilant. Report all suspicious people." Apparently they aspire to more important things.
