If Halliburton rebuilt my house, what would it look like?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Like the houses in Louisiana do right now.

And they'd charge you a billion dollars to do it.

[madinmaryland]

4. Plus it would have a big

"Mission Accomplished" slapped on it!

[tularetom]

2. You'd never know

because you couldn't afford to stay there and see it.

3. I don't think Halliburton is anything but the middleman.

THEY get the $$, and then hire subs, probably at minimum wage or less, to actually do the work!

[waiting for hope]

10. Paying only $4.50!

Can't remember where I heard this but they got a deal to pay LA workers only $4.50 instead of $5.15.....:puke:

[htuttle]

5. They'd never finish it...

...but they'd continue billing you for it's construction forever. Cost overruns, you know...

[calico1]

6. A cardboard box?

And it would cost about $500,000.

[JHB]

7. Kinda like this:

And they'd only bill the government a half mil for it!

[begin_within]

11. Wait, that's my house now!

[murray hill farm]

8. the outside would be large.....but

just for show...the inside would reveal that it was just a shell...and it would cost u four times its worth.

[More Than A Feeling]

9. *under my opponents plan, her house would be burned to the ground..."

If only Darrell Hammond knew how right he was. (Presidential Bash 2000 on SNL, if y'all remember that.)

[garybeck]

12. Your toilet seat would cost $2000.
