Why do we continue to do business with a company like this that has shown such bad faith? Sixty-four million dollars or $65 million is a lot of money; $24 million is a lot of money. Yet we continue to allow this company to suck up tax dollars in contracts, and it is a shameful set of circumstances. I think the President and the Vice President ought to disassociate themselves from this company and say they are out of here. There are honest companies, there are honest corporate leaders that we can do business with. Why are we continuing to do business with Halliburton? I just cannot understand it.
