You missed the point entirely! The point is that Ford thought it had an "exclusive", much like Halliburton, and so figured hey, why not gouge. Just as Halliburton will do.
Now if you can't see the obvious *apparent* good-0l-boy-wink-wink-odor of this deal than you, my friend, have no nose.
And you won't admit it but if Bill Clinton was collecting $1.1M a year from Halliburton and gave a contract to, guess who? Yeah, see what I mean? No? Then I certainly wouldn't have any trouble finding you in a room full of people. I'd just look for a person with no nose and no eyes!
Come on, do you really believe this crap you write?
