When wars go bad, shouldn't the people who profited pay the taxpayers back?

Bush had a ton of private contractors take over functions that used to be run by the Pentagon. They profited so much that our army is poor. The soldiers have to fund their own supplies.

It's not like this is the revolutionary war. There is a ton of money and the contractors have it in off shore banks.

Shouldn't they be made to pay?

    I am sure the Republicans who hate welfare queens will be on top of this matter. How dare they spend our hard earned money!

    in reality though, I don't really see that happening...
