Why is the Gulf Spill Not Stopped?

We cannot afford the lack of critical action by our government to protect our Gulf environment from destruction. 

After 72 days of spilling oil, the administration has not proposed any methods to solve the problem.  It seem that the administration has forgotten about the Gulf region.  More important things have come up.

Since BP can now collect oil for sale from the well, and the government can receive its royalties and leases from the well, why would either want to shut off the flow of oil?

If the administration had any concern for the people in the Gulf region, the well would already be plugged and the environmental cleanup under way.  See our previous blog at http://pc-political-calculations.blogspot.com/2010/05/oil.html

It appears the political uses of the oil spill are so profound that the administration may reuse this crisis right on up to November2010 and maybe until November 2012.

I am sorry, but the Arizona immigration law is insignificant in comparison to the Gulf oil spill and the administration should not be waisting time and money suing Arizona when the destruction of our Gulf coast currently in progress.

And, today, the CBO says that the heath care bill will cost much, much more than they originally estimated.  Did the CBO or some clown from the white house do the original estimate?

Do not worry, the politicians from Chicago can fix anything.

As well, the Federal Government must secure our borders and stop the oil spill; both are priority number 1. CyL

The computation of what the Health Care Reform Act will cost our country should have been made accurately before the bill was presented for consideration by our representatives. As of last evening's news, I understood that one who has a pre-existing condition could now sign up with the Federal Government for health care and would receive coverage for doctor's visits, medication and costs of hospitalization. We must all contact our elected officials and complain regarding the passing of bills/acts without accurate financial knowledge as to the cost of implementing the bill/act. We should be writing to them without delay and without interruption; thus far Washington, DC has called me 2 times and emailed me once, personally because I have followed my own advice. We all need to do so. Part of our various problems are because for so long all of us Americans just sat back and let our elected officials go to work, without any input from us along the way except our vote every so often. And what could be easier and quicker than to email one's elected official? Google The Capitol and click on finding one's representative, and write away. CyL
