Halliburon received more uncontested contracts under the Clinton administration than Bush's. There is a reason for uncontested contracts...only one company is capable of performing them. Clinton ushered that era in with the peace dividend and his destruction of competition in the defense industry.

I wouldn't cause you embarrassment if I solicited a cite here, would I?

Nobody objected to Government intervention in the free market when it involved Haliburton receiving uncontested bids for the reconstruction of Iraq, iirc. (At least, nobody worth speaking of, the lefties were all pissing blood about that, but who cares about liberal scum like that?)
On a less snide note, doesn't the fact that the big three are only still around due to protectionist measures that have allowed them to avoid being driven out of business by foreign competitors who actually have a clue what they're doing government intervention as well?
