Halliburton Begins Series of Price Hikes (oil business)
DALLAS (AP) -

2. What would one call people who prey on the fellow countrymen in
a time of increased economic turmoil and problems with an undeclared war (which was begun for their own benefit)? Am I crazy or does the word 'traitor' or 'profiteer' pop into anyone elses mind?
