How much, if any, did Haliburton pay Dick Cheney in the last year?
455255
Dunno how much he received for 2005 since they haven't released his tax filings yet.  According to the White House, in 2004 he received $194,852 in deferred compensation from Halliburton (money he agreed to be paid as part of his salary when he was CEO but after he had resigned as CEO).

It's not yet updated with 2006 rates, but here is a good site for all things pay-related in the armed services:\n\nhttp://www.defenselink.mil/militarypay/index.html\n\nIf he's not already in boot camp, his recruiter should be able to provide that info.

Cheney does not have any real participation with Enron.  A Texas-based company, Enron obviously had some vested interests in supporting the Bush administration and its policies.  It lobbied and contributed to the Bush campaign, just like a lot of corporations do.  Cheney had no real or direct involvement in anything that Enron did, though.\n\nI've included a link from the Washington Post explaining that Enron was involved with Cheney's energy policy.  That, however, is not particularly unusual, since MANY corporations were involved with Cheney's energy policy and provided input.  I've also placed a link for an anti-Bush site highlighting some of the "connections" with Enron, if you'd prefer to look at that perspective.

Here's the sad story of poor ol' Neil:\n\nThe US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated the failure of Silverado and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, as reported in the Style section of the Washington Post [3].\n\nWHAT! The "STYLE" Section of the Washington Post reported it? $50k - I guess that'll buy a lot of chinz...

I didn't think a President was able to make over $200,000.00 dollars while sitting in office? I am thinking there are some more charges for the impeachment process. I am going to have to look at this law a little closer. We also will have to of course check the Haliberton profits too.

Halliburton is a corporation.  It deals mainly in the Oil Business, however large reconstruction contract were awarded to Halliburton to help in rebuilding Iraq.  There have long been questions as to the legality of the way these contracts were handled as Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Haliburton prior to his coming to public office with President Bush in 2001.  He is still receiving his severance, buy out, pension from them which has raised eyebrows as to the legality of these contracts, with the feeling that there may be a conflict of interest between the Executive Branch and Halliburton.  This has not been proven, however it does linger over he heads of the Administration.

One of the world’s largest suppliers of reliable products and services to the oil and gas industry since 1919. Vice-President Cheney is a stockholder in this company and was responsible for Halliburton obtaining contracts for 'services rendered' in Iraq from the git-go. At the time, I smelled a rat. Collusion. I still do!\n\n                                                             HANK (Josh)

The pay for these jobs is much higher than in the states. Call Halliburton, they hire most of the civilians in Iraq.

Yes, i agree. They did it for greed and oil. Haliburton makes billions a day because we went in. And They are buddied up with the Bush administration. It is sad how much power the big corporations have over our government.

For being loving and accepting of his gay daughter: 9.5+\n\nFor the way he has conducted his personal and professional life from college on (dropping out, skating through on charm, draft deferments--plural--, , and the way he manipulated himself into the vice presidency: -100\n\nThat's MINUS 100!\n\nSadly, he's the best insurance policy to prevent a Bush assasination attempt.\n\nRefer to the attached article: "The Curse of Dick Cheney"\nHere's a small excerpt:\n\n"People who find Cheney's extremism as vice president surprising have not looked at his congressional voting record. In 1986, he was one of only twenty-one members of the House to oppose the Safe Drinking Water Act. He fought efforts to clean up hazardous waste and backed tax breaks for energy corporations. He repeatedly voted against funding for the Veterans Administration. He opposed extending the Civil Rights Act. He opposed the release of Nelson Mandela from jail in South Africa. He even voted for cop-killer bullets"

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT CHENEY!!!!  The success of Bush Vice Presidential running mate Richard Cheney at leading Halliburton, Inc. to a five year $3.8 billion "pig-out" on federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans is only a partial indicator of what may happen if the Bush ticket wins in two weeks. A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney's tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton's most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root's past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.\nThis June the lead Washington, D.C. attorney for a major Russian oil company connected in law enforcement reports to heroin smuggling and also a beneficiary of US backed loans to pay for Brown and Root contracts in Russia, held a $2.2 million fund raiser to fill the already bulging coffers of presidential candidate George W. Bush. This is not the first time that Brown and Root has been connected to drugs and the fact is that this "poster child" of American industry may also be a key player in Wall Street's efforts to maintain domination of the half trillion dollar a year global drug trade and its profits. And Dick Cheney, who has also come closer to drugs than most suspect, and who is also Halliburton's largest individual shareholder ($45.5 million), has a vested interest in seeing to it that Brown and Root's successes continue.

Jon Stewart (I love his show) recently had a figure on there that, including the most recent request for $, the war in Iraq is costing each US taxpayer +$2,000.  That's EACH!  \n\nOf course, he made this point too.  We aren't paying for it, you and I.  Who will pay for it?  Our grandkids - because while we are fighting two wars right now, we are also cutting taxes and increasing the deficit and therefore the debt.
