I know that contracts awarded on a cost-plus and no bid basis aren't
elements of a "free market capitalist system." The CEO of Halliburton
has learned, as have many others, that he can make as "much money as he
can from the clients," if he operates on insider connections,
favoritism, cronyism, and back room dealing, instead of on true "free
market" principles.

What, you don't know what 'free market' means? It means they're
"free" to bend the taxpayer over and jam it to them. THey've
bought their president, and they're gonna get everything they
can out of the man before november.
