We are allowing this.

We are intentionally helpless. We have had offers from countries the world over to send their advanced equipment and suck up the oil.  We have turned EVERY ONE OF THEM DOWN.  We could have got twenty supertankers in there in a week to suck up that oil, but it would have cost BP and they were busy trying to pinch pennies AGAIN, which is why this happened in the first place.

We could have had available assets from over a dozen countries in there during the first week but it would have cost BP money and....well, that's an old story by now. The President is doing the same thing with BP he did with the TBTF banks. He put the people who caused the problem in charge of fixing it. So America is about to hit Great Depression #2 AND lose the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Southern beaches and marshes because you can't trust ANYONE to be honest about fixing a problem they caused.

Bankers, oil companies, software companies, auto manufacturers, food producers, big pharma, it doesn't matter. How much did tobacco companies spend on producing 'scientific' data that smoking was not linked to lung cancer? Millions of dollars and YEARS, until they diversified enough that admitting it wouldn't hurt their bottom line. The very same thing is happening now with CO2 and we let it happen because we don't know who to believe BECAUSE WE CANNOT TRUST OUR OWN GOVERNMENT TO ACT IN OUR BEST INTERESTS. (sorry for yelling)

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC
