I think it would be overcharging the army 6 billion a year for services that made Halliburton rich such as food, laundry, and meals they never served to the troops. Or maybe the bill the republicans voted down for stiffer penalties on contractors who overbill. Or maybe the 1.7 they spent for a new amphibious vehicle that broke down an average of every 4 hours, leaked and veered off course. And for that, the contractor, General Dynamics, received 80 million in bonuses.
Instead I believe McCain would like to cut "wasteful" spending on such programs as Medicare and Medicaid, SCHIP, oppose any increase in minimum wage, and cut programs that work such as head start or LIHEAP. Who is being asked to sacrifice? It sure the hell isn't those getting rich off this unjust war.

I agree with your 'overspending' suggestions, Debby. SCHIP is a prime example of this trend.
