They just can't seem to get it right
The next time President Bush or anybody else from this Administration starts to prate about how much they do for small businesses, remember this stuff.
In the context of federal contracting in the rebuilding of the storm ravaged Gulf Coast, the Bush Administration had a golden opportunity to simultaneously help local firms get back on their feet, create work for locals who have been seriously economically damaged by the storms, and gain some much-needed PR brownie points by at least appearing to give a damn about the minorities his party has been trying to make inroads with.
Instead, they use the opportunity to toss still more money toward Halliburton. Geez, these guys just can't seem to help themselves!
They always love small businesses (and minorities, too) when they're looking for votes. And they continue to love small businesses, too ... just as long as they don't get in the way of corporate profits.
