Ultimately the money gets spent here in the states and to a large degree helps drive the economic engine.
It's not the dollar. It's how well you spend it. I don't accept gross waste and misuse of funding by the government, and if private contractors are wasting money through incompetence or fraud, they should be punished. That's not saying Haliburton shouldn't get the job. Haliburton may very well be the best company for the job, but maintain checks and balances. Would Hillary send Bill to an intern conference and say,"I trust you, Bill?"
