Remember how the US could not afford Kyoto? Remember how the GOP told us that universal health care was impossible because it would be too expensive? Ten billion dollars could have gone a long way towards helping both our current generation as well as future generations of Americans. Instead, all we got was a crappy $10 billion bill that went to a failed war of convenience and GOP friends with no bid contracts.
And as bad as this is, the auditors say it could get worse since we are stuck in Iraq. This is what happens when you have a useless, rubber stamp Congress who failed to do their jobs and ask questions.
Of the $10 billion in overpriced contracts or undocumented costs, more than $2.7 billion were charged by Halliburton Co., the oil-field services firm once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney.Why does the GOP and Halliburton hate America? What a bunch of swindlers.
