In honor of the past decade or so of naming laws and acts the opposite of what they actually do I have reversed the article and thread Title.
I may just do that for now on but I will see what the Forum leaders say on it.
What say you guys?
Back to the subject at hand, to be fair this also shows the collusion of the Dems and Repubs since this has been going on since the Clinton era.
We've all heard about Haliburton etc and their no-bid contracts, no others are coming out of the woodwork. Must be an election year.
This doesn't mean I endorse McCain or Obama/Clinton.
Simply that it just sucks no matter how you spin it.
4-20-2008 Colt's grip on military rifle market called bad deal
HARTFORD, Conn. - No weapon is more important to tens of thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan than the carbine rifle. And for well over a decade, the military has relied on one company, Colt Defense of Hartford, Conn., to make the M4s they trust with their lives.
In 1994, Colt was awarded a no-bid contract to make the weapons. Since then, it has sold more than 400,000 to the U.S. military.
Along the way, Colt's hold has been threatened but not broken.
