it doesn't matter who's in office, they will waste your money.
yes, it's rediculous that they didn't have a bid war for this, that's pretty shitty. i hope they decide to pull halliburton on this, it stinks of shit.
but as far as pricing, etc, i'm not surprised at all. not only do you have to take into consideration transportation, but it's not exactly like driving through texas, either. it is a hostile environment, and i'm sure the people doing it are getting paid as such.
it's not just american corporations that do this either. business is business. and most companies around the world don't run on a 10% profit margin. they wouldn't bother.
