Oh shit..... now I KNOW we're fucked
CNN Radio just said that even Halliburton is cutting jobs. What company has made more money than them in the last 8 years?

3. They are cutting their people because their no-bid contract days will be over.
They have to dismantle the company and build up a new one without a name that most view as a 4-letter word.

4. Did they say who they're laying off?
I'm sure it's no one "importnat" - they just want to minimize payroll expenses so the "little people" don't eat into profits.

5. They probably have to make room in the payroll
to put Uncle DICK back on salary for about 8 digits or so.

7. Fat Daddy Dick is about to cash in on the blind trust.
Liquidating here, so he can take it with him to Dubai... Just in case some pesky investigations start.
