It was President Bush that opened up the gulf to deep water drilling, and ignored the warnings of the risks of a spill.
.
And he put in place terms in the mining rights he sold limiting the liability of companies like BP if a fiasco like this happened.
.
If BP decided to stick to the wording of the mining deal they bought their liability for this disaster would be capped at around $100 million - with the US tax payer picking up the rest.
I think there should be a little box on your tax form where you can choose to give MORE taxes to the Government. How many times have we heard these media and hollywood types talk about how they think that we aren't taxed enough and that Europeans pay more? Put your money where you mouths are Liberals...lead by example, if you trust the government to spend your tax dollars so wisely...give more!
@condobeacon no, he didn't say that. he said that in china, which is a much more brutal society or brutal way of doing things, econ-criminals of this severity would be executed. lots of countries have executed lots of people, for lots of reasons, including americans, recently, for dumb ones, so try not to lead innocent people astray with your little tactics (replacing content). im not defending the socialism stuff or even matthews you just cant change peoples words to fit it's "like" he said...
Wow, Chris Matthews is one scary socialist SOB! BP gave us an oil slick...Governments have given us HItler, nuclear weapons, endless horrific wars, economic collapses, genocide. Governments pretty much dream up the stuff of horror movies. Capitalism made this modern world we live in. Maybe Matthews ought to give back everything capitalism has given him (job, clothes, car, his hair plugs, etc.) What a piece of $hit!
@condobeacon your point is hard to beat on its own terms, but i do have to say sometimes it is scary how bad things can get in the interest of this great modern world we're so proud of
Why is it whenever anything goes wrong, Chris Matthews' first impulse is to nationalize something? Chris, do you think governments aren't susceptible to accidents and mistakes? And when those mistakes happen, who does the populus go to to hold them accountable? My real point being, you're an idiot who has no business being on television. Nationalize that biznitch.
Screwball on screwball showing his true colors. So, He's saying he wants a communist dictator that has the power of genocide. Utopia! Where is there a free market Chris? Definitely not the oil business.
Here we see again these insane left foaming at the mouth because all they base their existence on our lies.
Mathews is out of his mind. Is he so delusional that he is unaware the vast majority of Americans see him as disturbed? And the network he is on is just suicidal for keeping him there. But I digress. I suppose even the lunatic fringe need a voice.
well, for not doing his job, maybe Chis Mathews should face the same punishment as BP. Where was CM when Obama was running for office and no one even investigated what is in his books, or talked with his pastor. Oh yea, they were all in Alaska interview Palins 3rd grade teacher, and trying to force the release of her sonigrams of her pregnancy with Trig.
Wow this guy is a communist.
