"To think that it's near zero is ridiculous when you're talking these kinds of numbers," he said.Representative Henry A. Waxman,[...] said"Halliburton gouged the taxpayer, government auditors caught the company red-handed, yet the Pentagon ignored the auditors and paid Halliburton hundreds of millions of dollars and a huge bonus." "Honestly, what the fuck is going with the government right now?I feel like years from now there's going to be some probe, or documentary, or something of the sort showing that the entire administration is corrupt beyond anything suspected. I mean like conspiracy theory corrupt, because this shit is ridiculous.
