Good CNN segment earlier with Soledad & CNN economic correspondent

[DemsUnited]

They were RIPPING into the cronyism of the rebuilding effort. Reported how subsidiary of Halliburton already has 400,000,000 dollar no bid contract arranged for them by Joe Allbaugh -- Bush's Chief of Staff in Texas and later his first FEMA Director and Brownies college roommate. Mentioned how Cheney still gets money from Haliburtion. Talked about how companies stand to make BIG profit because of Presidential repeal of minimum wage law with no corresponding legislation to limit corporate profit.

This should be the next big story and the Democrats should yell their hearts out about it.

1. I wish they would-

2. Those upset about the "looting" haven't seen s**t yet

the looting of crumbs is nothing compared to the truckload version that is just gearing up.

[mod mom]

8. Looting? Halliburton et al are the MAJOR LOOTERS in this disaster!

[Atman]

3. SHOULD be...

"This should be the next big story and the Democrats should yell their hearts out about it."

But alas, the hapless democrats will just flop over like the spineless punching bags that they are.

4. When was the last big story where the Dems "yell their hearts out about."?

This is an excellent post. How disgusting, Allbaugh who gave us Brown makes money. They better yell. Thanks for posting this.

5. Yeah and soledad was only minutes...

earlier talking about how Dem only "complain" when it comes to the chimp's agenda, specifically the roberts nomination.

6. Large corporation could really make the bucks if only bush would repeal

the child labor laws. I mean why aren't repukes pushing this? Then they could get their labor costs down to third world nation status. They wouldn't have to outsource and everyone would have a job. :sarcasm:

9. "Mentioned how Cheney still gets money from Haliburtion."

If this can be proven, that grounds for impeachment right there.
