What's Good for BP is Good for the USA



The oil spill is not over, and it probably won't be in my lifetime. We shall keep paying for it. Same thing with the Great Impoverishment... won't be over in my lifetime. The Government Class will tell you everything is getting back on track, but I tell you that Democrat, Republican, or Tea Party, they are all cut from the same cloth, just at different parts of it. The Government Class and the Corporate Class that almost destroyed this country over the past 20 years is trained in subtle destruction, not creation, not nurture, not husbandry.

BP oil spill: Fishermen woes persist, one year on


Nick Collins has the deeply tanned skin of a man who has spent most of his 39 years on a boat, fishing for oysters.

He has worked for his father's business, Collins Oyster Company, since he was 10 years old.

Not any more...

The Government Class will balance the budget in exactly the same manner they took care of the BP oil spill: they will go only as far as their misguided and deceitful guidelines of probity allow them. They cannot even conceive of anything beyond their stunted philosophies.
The problems we face will be balanced upon our backs.
And this gross inequity will be the source of the next step of the Great Impoverishment.

The statement about "Gov. Jindal's fresh water refers to the Lousiana Governor's decision to flood the marshes with Mississippi water to keep the oil-laden sea water out, thus killing the salt-water creatures there.

Just read an article in the Times-Picayune (New Orleans) yesterday about this very subject. The fresh water flooding of the oyster beds has been deemed far more destructive than the oil spill.

I guess that's what happens when you do not have anything in place for worst-case scenarios: you panic and make poor decisions.
