no, actually it suggests that the cost for a barrel of oil is something we take for granted and shouldn't put our planet in perril just to have cheap gas. The simple rules of supply and demand. The viable supply of oil demands that gas is more expensive. This will encourage people to use public transit more, carpool etc. You're response to me suggests that you don't think that crude oil is a luxury when in fact it is. This as well as wallmart and the burkenstocks you wear.

obviously they would pay less taxes if they earn less income end of year. It all depends on how they ammortize this fund.

I wear neither Wal*Mart nor Birkenstocks. If appropriate measures had been taken to manage the impact, I might agree with you, but you're merely justifying your position out of expediency and not out of any altruistic intention.

True, though in this case hasn't BP said they aren't going to pay a dividend for a while?

Hopefully it works and they get enough out there to prevent the oil from spreading too much.

I haven't really been following what has been going on with this for the most part. Would someone please let me know what Obama said about it? Is the gov't paying anything to fix this or is BP going to be held responsible?

If I had the money to do so, I would be out there helping clean those poor aniamls and fish.
