WHAT?!!! Limbaugh and Beck get paid to say nice things about the Tea Party?!

I didn't see anything online saying that they no longer have the contract.

CGI Federal, one of the companies behind the troubled healthcare.gov website, also has a multimillion-dollar contract with the state of New Jersey to build and operate a Web-based computer system for the efficient disbursement of Hurricane Sandy relief funds.
The little-known system is unknown even to some members of the state department slated to use it, as New Jersey officials commemorate the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy sweeping ashore.
CGI won the contract to operate New Jersey's Sandy Integrated Recovery Operations and Management System five months ago. A bid solicitation released by the state Department of Community Affairs said the system would help contractors and state agencies "efficiently accomplish and fund their projects."
SIROMS was envisioned as a record-keeping tool to document the distribution of $1.8 billion in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds awarded to New Jersey by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Bidding for the contract opened April 25 and closed on May 14. Ten days later, Canada-based CGI was awarded the job over International Technologies Inc.
"We started out with two bids, but one was thrown out," said Bill Quinn, communications director of the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. "That left the bid from CGI." The International Technologies proposal was "not responsive to the bid specifications," he said.

"owns part of" implies substantial control, not the possession of stocks which anyone can purchase, provided they have the capital to do so, which i suppose is what chaps your ass about his stock holdings.
anyone with a 401k is "part owner" of a broad array of stocks in many companies. this is not an indictment of people with retirement plans.

but i guess you're too stupid and hairy to understand that.

The estimated value of the two-year CGI contract, which expires in 2015, is more than $38 million.
"SIROMS will be a fully functional turnkey IT solution that will allow the State to quickly deploy its CDBG-DR Program to assist State residents impacted by Superstorm Sandy," the bid solicitation said. "SIROMS will collect and manage the reports and data to make payments under the program, file reports with the federal government, and provide the source data to State transparency sites and reporting dashboards."
Seventeen CDBG-DR programs were launched in the last six months, according to a Monday press release from the office of Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J.
But details about the SIROMS system appear limited even to some members of the Department of Community Affairs, the state agency that will use it to administer the federal CDBG-DR funds.

[TD="class: text"][h=2]Definition of 'Stock'[/h] A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.

There are two main types of stock: common and preferred. Common stock usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders' meetings and to receive dividends. Preferred stock generally does not have voting rights, but has a higher claim on assets and earnings than the common shares. For example, owners of preferred stock receive dividends before common shareholders and have priority in the event that a company goes bankrupt and is liquidated.

Also known as "shares" or "equity." [/TD]

[TD="class: text"][h=2]Investopedia explains 'Stock'[/h] A holder of stock (a shareholder) has a claim to a part of the corporation's assets and earnings. In other words, a shareholder is an owner of a company. Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of outstanding shares. For example, if a company has 1,000 shares of stock outstanding and one person owns 100 shares, that person would own and have claim to 10% of the company's assets.

Stocks are the foundation of nearly every portfolio. Historically, they have outperformed most other investments over the long run.

Yes, a stock owner does hold a claim to earnings and assets. But, it is not the same as owning a sole-proprietor company, not even close and you made a cloaked statement as if he owns the buildings and everything in them. Just sayin

We looked at a personal financial disclosure form that Cheney signed on Sept. 1, 2000. This is the filing made once someone joins a national presidential ticket. It represents the candidate's holdings and income as of August. In the portion addressing Cheney's compensation from Halliburtion, the file lists the following categories and dollar amounts as of that date:

• Salary/bonus (gross): $4,721, 947
• Deferred salary: $1,042, 441
• Senior executive deferred compensation contributions: $654,804

Meanwhile, on May 15, 2001, Cheney also signed a second disclosure form that is supposed to update the August 2000 filing so that it covers the full year. In this filing, Cheney disclosed the following Halliburton income:

• Salary/bonus (gross): $821,896
• Elective deferred salary: $403,166
• Stock equivalent unit bonus: $396,213
• Senior executive deferred compensation contributions: $53,692
• Elective deferred salary lump sum payout: $1,140,160
• Restricted stock imputed income: $7,560,000
• Nonqualified stock option income: $21,964,254
• Senior executive deferred compensation payout: $2,797,128

However, we were unclear about whether the totals from the May 2001 filing, which amount to $35.1 million, should be added to those from the August 2000 filing, which amount to $6.4 million, or whether the amounts in the two filings overlap somewhat. Experts we spoke to expressed uncertainty on this question as well. So we decided to take the most cautious approach and only use the numbers from the second filing, which covers the whole year.

That still leaves a total of $35.1 million earned from Halliburtion reported on the May 2001 filing. Of that total, just over $800,000 represents salary and bonus, which Cheney would have earned regardless of whether he joined the ticket or not. Many of the other categories were subject to some calculation and/or negotiation, as would happen in the case of any CEO who left a position early, so it seems fair to call the rest of the income he received an exit package.

So, if you subtract the salary and bonus from the larger amount, voila -- you get $34 million and change. So Matthews is right.

A footnote: Cheney's timing was impeccable. As the disclosure forms indicate, he held a large number of stock options, which means he had been given the right to purchase shares of the company for an old (and, hopefully for the holder of the options) lower price than the current market value. When the holder chooses to exercise those options, they can buy the shares at the low price and then sell them at the market price, pocketing the difference.

It's not clear when Cheney sold his stock options, but it likely was within weeks of his being named to the ticket -- a period when Halliburtion shares hit their 2000 peak, in the low-to-mid $50 range. By November 30, 2000, the stock had fallen to $33 a share. If he'd waited until then to sell, his payday would have been one-third lower, or roughly $14 million rather than $22 million.

But Cheney does appear to have had timing on his side, so we find Matthews' statement -- that Cheney had a payday of $34 million -- to be accurate. If anything, it may have been a bit low. Either way, we give it a rating of True.

The Halliburton whiners are idiots who don't understand how government contracting works. Cheney had no power to influence procurement; whatever contracts they got they won in competitive bidding.

But the no bid contracts! The no bid contracts! They only came about because Halliburton had won the competitive bid on the general peacetime contracts. Had the company not won those contracts in competitive bidding, they never would have been awarded no bid contracts. Instead, the winning contractor would have gotten them.

Not that it was a profitable game to play anyway. Halliburton jettisoned KBR many years ago.

Do you ever bother to read anything you post? This says Cheney sold all of his stock before he was even named to the ticket, and yet your claim was that Cheney owns part of Halliburton.

you seem to be glossing over the fact that Halliburton/KBR was one of only 3 companies on earth with the ability to fill the contract, the other two being Schlumberger of Germany, and a French company who's name i can never remember.

as Germany and France declined to join the fight, it was determined that they were ineligible for the "spoils of war" which turned out to be basically a huge US government contract to give Iraq a shitload of free stuff and rebuild their country at US taxpayer's expense.

LOGCAP III was competitively awarded to KBR in 2001, long before American forces were in Iraq. LOGCAP III was the root of everything.

And those certainly weren't the only companies capable of fulfilling the contract. Dyncorp held LOGCAP II and Dyncorp is now one of the holders of LOGCAP IV.
