151 Congressmen Derive Financial Profit From War
 

"Who profits from the Iraq war? More than a quarter of senators and congressmen have invested at least $196 million of their own money in companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) that profit from the death and destruction in Iraq.

According to the latest reports, 151 members of Congress invested close to a quarter-billion in companies that received defense contracts of at least $5 million in 2006. These companies got more than $275.6 billion from the government in 2006, or $755 million per day, according to FedSpending.org, a website of the watchdog group OMBWatch."

lots of dems on that list. no wonder they are not cutting funding :321GFY

should be illegal

Ethics anyone?

but it's both sides, don't be fooled by the charade of a 2 party system

one in four abouts? man.. that's crazy

preaching to the choir. There is only one party left and its called neo-conservatism. And dont let the word "conservatism" fool you they come from the far left and have taken over both parties using different lies.

why doesn't that surprise me?

I've mulled tiptoeing into the stock market by looking at companies that have DoD contracts myself actually.....war is a big business

it's just ridiculous

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

12 cents?

how is this not insider trading?

the private sector involved with military operations should be illegal period

watch this - http://iraqforsale.org/

so the lesson learned is that somebody should start a mutual fund whose assetts mimic the portfolio weights of congress members

and i would invest in that

It's a mockery!

Treason. Hang 'em.

Wasn't it worst during the Vietnam war?

they are the ones who make the laws, simply NOBODY can take on 1/4 of 1/3 of the countries power structure AND of course the president.

Another thing I'd like to see is how many people on the supreme court are in on this since they are the only thing with any shot at hell in taking those 2 evils on.

As do hundreds of thousands of citizens. It is called capatilism.

yeah the only difference is your average citizen isn't killing anyone to make his dollar

And your average citizen doesn't give a rats ass whats going on behind closed doors. Nothing will change until gas is $9 a gallon and milk is $6 a gallon and so on. The only way to wake people up is hit them hard in the pockets then they all of the sudden will see the light :2 cents:

Gee...that's shocking... not!
It's actually surprising that only 25% participate in it :1orglaugh

thks for the info, keep updated
