"BP needs to pay the entire cost as they were in command of the operations and they made they made the errors leading to this disaster.

True enough as far as it goes, but don't you get a little sick and tired of the Federal government extracting taxes specifically for the purpose of handling situations such as this and completely failing to execute a prepositioned and designed plan to handle and mitigate these problems. Those taxes pass directly to you at the pump.

AGREED, while I also believe BP should pay for the cleanup, if the GOVVVVVMENT has a fund, collected at the pump e.g. your and my arse, then Bammy better start cutting some checks, or stop collecting the tax. I mean this isn’t social security we are talking about here. We know that fund (SS) has been ape raped for decades.

The Taxpayer taking it in the rear once again!

I suspect they fail to execute a plan because the money is long gone, into the pockets of those in power.

It is time for a SERIOUS OVERHAUL of our government!
