Blackwater Rakes it In — Change We Can’t Believe In

The State Department extends Blackwater’s “security contract.”  Oh, and by the way, contractors now outnumber our troops in Afghanistan.

Um. Wonder how the troops feel — getting paid a pittance — while the “contractors” rake it in, paid by your tax dollars.  And given the billions your tax dollars go to the defense budget, why do we need to hire “contractors” in the first place?  Maybe it’s because they give a whole lot of money to the people who decide these things?  Ya think?
