Boehner: Government--i.e. Taxpayers--Should Help Pay For Oil Spill

This is an email forward I received today. I searched and found another related article, see the link at bottom. ***** Email Forward ***** First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to m ...

I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades. I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. N ...

Dear MoveOn member, We struggled with whether or not to share this photo, taken of a bird on the beach at East Grand Terre Island, LA on Thursday. It's hard to look at. But we have to face where our addiction to oil has taken us—and this photo brings that home: (Click here if you can't see the image) The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is heartbreaking—but if an image like this can do anything, it can sear into our minds the fact that we need a real plan to get ...

their pocketbooks. June 10, 2010 Dear Friend, I am a fourth-generation shrimper from the Gulf of Mexico and today I was arrested and charged with unlawful conduct for pouring oil on myself at a Senate Energy Committee. I was protesting Senator Lisa Murkowski's refusal to make BP pay for the disaster that is devastating shrimping communities across the Gulf Coast. Just imagine this: BP can get away with pouring millions of gallons of oil in our seas and I get arrested f ...

This is one thing we have to look forward to. After it is all said and done, there will be 50 jobs out of the pipeline Trump wants to go forward with. The taxpayers who live where the oil spills happen will pay to have it cleaned up, not to mention how harmful it is to the animals and environment. Why would we want to go back to making fossil fuels are prime source of energy anyway? So we can make money! Lots of money! ...

BP buys Google, Yahoo oil spill search terms By Hibah Yousuf, staff reporterJune 7, 2010: 6:37 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As BP continues to try to stop the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy giant is also dealing with a public relations nightmare. That's why the company is snapping up search phrases like "oil spill" and "oil spill claims" on Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) and Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500). The strategy, says a company spokeswoman, aims to "assist those w ...

This is sooooo stoopid!!! What do they want the President to do? I guess the President needs to sit at his desk 24 hours/day. After all, he can only handle one catastrophe at a time. I think our President needs to move his office and staff to a boat and park it next to the gusher. Hopefully, that will make people happy. I guess Republicans have forgotten how many days Bush spent at his Texas ranch. Last week, it was an ad. This time, it's a statement from the GOP chairman. O ...

How I wish that people knew more about the history of this nation, and about the expansion of government with more agencies, more laws, more regulations, more inspections, and other impediments to personal success that has occurred especially since the 1930s, and in which NONE of the parties in power have been blameless. Folks, we now have officials shutting down lemonade stands and fining people for collecting rainwater from their own roofs. If you have a koi pond in your back yard, the ...

Government: Must Worship the beast. I didn't care for Bush too much, but even HE wouldn't do something like this to poor families. He is beyond evil. He doesn't have to do this at all. He is a SUPER VILLAIN punishing innocent people, even children just to get his way. ‘Folks About to Riot’: Twitter Explodes with Outrage Over Electronic Food Stamp Shutdown Worship The Beast or Die A Time of Testing Someone has said that truth can be stranger than fiction.

Transocean noted "the tragic loss of life" in the Gulf when the rig operated by BP PLC exploded last April. But it said the company still had an "exemplary" safety record because it met or exceeded certain internal safety targets concerning the frequency and severity of its accidents, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/02/transocean-execs-get-bonu_n_843975.html ...

The IRS has discovered more than 1 million Americans whose Social Security numbers were stolen by illegal immigrants, but officials never bothered to tell the taxpayers themselves, the agency’s inspector general said in a withering new report released Tuesday. Investigators first alerted the IRS to the problem five years ago, but it’s still not fixed, the inspector general said, and a pilot program meant to test a solution was canceled, and fell woefully short anyway. As a result mos ...
