Should The Fed Govt Take Over Oil Spill Ops?

[Jermyn Davidson]

I think we can all agree that from the begining, BP and others have underestimated the catastrophe that took the lives of 11 Americans.

Some even say that BP has tried to play down the whole event and the ensuing consequences.

Local and State leaders in Louisiana are accusing BP of being deceptive on more than one front.



Whatever the case, BP is proving to be unable to stop the leak.

Is there a point where the Federal Government should "boot" BP from the controls, so to speak?

If so, when?

Then, what should they do to fix this mess?


Another thing, who should PAY for the wages lost and livelihoods diminished, even destroyed, by this catastrophe?

Should the affected residents seek financial aid from there State Governments?

Should the Federal Government provide yet another bail out for the citizens affected by another "disaster" that was completely out of their control?

Should BP be targetted-- even if meant that such a massive payout could mean bankruptcy for the company?


So many questions.

Feel free to respond... or not to.
