The NPR piece on which this video drew its inspiration was released May 26; at that point in time, conservative estimates of the amount of oil spilled in the Gulf Coast placed the figure at 18 million gallons. Obviously, that number is a little higher now, but the point remains the same: $11.5 million is a miniscule fraction of $13 trillion -- less than one millionth of the total, in fact.
Yes, liberals, who like big government and big taxes should pony up to prove they really believe in higher taxes and more expensive government. I wouldn't ever give a dime, because it encourages the squanderers. The more they get the more they spend . . . . they are committed to deficit spending. I think many Leftists want to bankrupt us.
