I think the odds very much against it.

More likely to have every loser and ****** come out and say they
couldn't work or worked 6000 hours in 6 months to clean it up and want
cash.

Think, 10s of thousands are hatching the scams as we write.


Right...BP and its partners are the good guys, and the watermen are the
bad guys, and the check is in the mail.

BP's has a positive impact on my life every day. The subsistence
waterman of the Gulf Coast don't.

IOW BP can screw the fishermen? so if someone screws your method of
making a buck, then that's just tough luck?

gee. right whiners have an interesting sense of morality

Why should BP pay for the failure of the US government to enact a plan,
on the books since 1994, to contain the effects of an oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico.

uh...because BP was making the money? because having the taxpayer pay
for BP's mistakes is a subsidy for the wealthy?

oh. i think we just found out why he thinks there should be a govt
plan...

Obviously the US government failed to perform again. BP
did its part by paying taxes and fees to subsidize the the equipment,

well, no. i'm a chemical engineer. if i blow up the town where i
build a chemical plant is that just tough luck for the folks who lived
there, cuz i paid taxes?

BP paid taxes on its profits it did NOT pay for the right to destroy
everyone ELSE'S means of making a living. you seem to think if a car
thief pays taxes he can steal your car.

manpower, training and the plan. Who dropped the ball? The US
government. Oh, and this occurred on Obama's watch and it is his
disaster and his fault.

and bush murdered 3000 americans on 9/11. it happened on his watch
