Sorry dude, but you say something like this in the same thread that you accuse me of being a shill for the republican party, is just laughable.
I think the largest non-compete contract given to Halliburton, was done by Clinton (at least at the time it was). It was also the right thing to do.
If the US government wanted to award a multi-billion dollar contract for computers with the primary OS being UNIX based, and it had be accompanied with an industry standard music player. Also, the computers needed to be metal laptops and less then an inch thick. Why would they put a bid out?
There is only one company in the world who can deliver such a requirement. Asking people to spend 10's of millions of dollars to bid on something that only one company can do, is stupid.
What Halliburton does, no one else can. It's why you give them non-compete contracts. Obama gave Halliburton a $500 million dollar non-compete contract as well, and it was the right thing to do.
Both presidents that have bookmarked Bush did the same thing as Bush, but Bush was bad for doing it and they were just fine doing it.
It's a laughable partisan argument, based on fear over logic.
On, and if you're going to try and argue that Thomas Jefferson was for big government, I got to see where this goes, because that would be the biggest re-write of american history I have ever seen.
