"...In 2003 Blackwater won a $27m no-bid contract for guarding Paul Bremer, then head of the Coalition Provisional Authority. For protecting officials in conflict zones since 2004, the company has received more than $320m. And this year the Obama government contracted to pay Xe Services a quarter of a billion dollars for security work in Afghanistan. This is just one of many companies making its profits out of warfare."
Blackwater has again changed its name from "Xe" to Academi.
So what? They provided a valuable service and were paid for it. We wasted a staggering sum on Stimuli and got zip in return. We wasted Trillions more on poverty programs and have more poverty to show for it. Our countrys defense is a constitutional expenditure. The other stuff, including hospitals, IS NOT.
That’s peanuts.
