corrupt when it comes to these things. The leader in Iraq we knew was corrupt and we sent billions in CASH over there which "disappeared." That's the foreign policy our leaders know. Allowing all of these contractors to go to war zones for profit on top of our soldiers meant everyone got to dip their beak in the money of war. They were paying contract truck drivers $150,000 a year, secretaries over $100,000 which means that they cost the taxpayers a lot more than a soldier doing that job like they used to. When they buy their politicians, they buy them for wars!

It's the same problem as private prisons. You will have more prisoners for longer sentences when there is a profit motive. Now they (private prisons and law enforcement) fight medical and recreational marijuana only to preserve the numbers of prisoners and the budgets to pay to catch them.

It's a coordinated thing, the politicians get us into wars for less and less cause, the contractors come in and sell us the robots to diffuse bombs and don't worry that we didn't train the locals, they sold their product and got our tax dollars.

Hillary and Bill go to Davros every year to meet with all of the parties to decide what they are going to do in the coming year so everyone gets to dip their beaks in our tax dollars. It's a big club, but we are not in it!
