It's sort of moot.
One way or the other, taxpayers/energy-consumers will pay for it.

I’d like someone to explain what happened to the money the feds have been collecting all along for exactly this situation.

The GOP shouldn’t be on the leading edge of advocating the taxpayers pay for it. This is Stoopid.

I guess the writer wants to send FEMA, NOAA and the National Guard home.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT OUR GOVERNMENT IS PACKED INCOMPETENT IDIOTS AND RINOS LIKE YOURSELF MR BOEHNER!
Why do I have to pay for this? Why don't you take the money from the Congressional Pension fund?

Bite me Boehner. That’s equivalent of bailing out GM and Goldman Sachs. Let the shareholders take the brunt of the costs.

The administration and politicians of both parties should pay first at the federal and state and finally local levels.

You know... I like JB a lot. Of course, if the goverment is involved in fixing the problem the taxpayer is going to pay for it. He didn’t say we SHOULD pay for it.
This is a real snow job of a story and a very misleading headline.

Pay for it via spending cuts in other areas.

Geez...just when I thought we were finally making some progress in seeing the light of day again...!
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Ultimately its us who pay... but if we look at risk / return calculations and valuations... this risk vests on their books.
Do we the public ever get any benefit of their wildcats? For the wealth that is being squandered and the damage done, the onus rests squarely on their heads.
Who is liable for the mess they left the whole gulf in? Is Mexico going to send a bill too?
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Way to turn a phrase, Business Insider. No agenda there...
Obama said taxpayers should bail out wall street fatcats. Obama said taxpayers should pay to fund public employee pension plans via the porkulus bill. Obama said taxpayers should pay for illegal aliens' healthcare insurance.
Gee this is fun.

He is talking about Obama saying that BP should pay for the Moratorium on Drilling in the Gulf.
Obama wants BP to pay everyone for not being able to work because of his dictates.
This article is a hack job.

Boehner is a class A-One problem.
Like his counterpart in the House, Mitch McConnell, he should have been purged a long time ago.
Just more foot-in-mouth disease.
Of course, ULTIMATELY the public will pay anyway as any fines, costs, etc, will be passed along in higher costs by BP.
