Are Republicans in Favor of Defrauding Taxpayers?

[mburbank]

Humorousness aside, what do you think about Republicans axing a measure penalizing contractors for fraud and war profiteering?

Especially since just today the Pentagon has said they are Conindering not extending Halliburton's no bid contract in Iraq because they've been charging us twice the going rate for Gasoline?

I mean, that's a pretty powerful punishment, not extending an open ended no bid contract.
