The Mexicons are drilling in the Gulf right now in 7,000 feet of water.
Since drilling rigs are in such short supply they are paying 440,000 bucks per day. That's per day to drill.!
Even more ironic after all the boo-- hooing the dirty dems do about "big oil" and all their "excess profits" is the fact that their return on sales is only 8% and that after they pay 10% to the govt. in excise taxes alone forget the other myriad of taxes they are paying.
The dirty dems should be kissing the feet of every oil driller, Exxon , BP etc. there is, they are picking up the tab for the deficit the rats are creating.!! With costs like that are you going to be extra careful where you drill?--I think so!!
How arrogant of anyone to tell a company putting out money like that when and where they can drill, unbelievable.!!
Democrats are elitists.
