House of Representatives

Say good bye to the world you grew up in it is being destroyed right before your eyes. Is there anything else the democrats could possibly have done to frick up the united states worse than they have since Obama got elected! I can't think of anything the communist have left out.

These assholes make me violently ill.......the BS coming from their pieholes is an absolute disgrace.

Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., the bill's main sponsor, said the legislation would be a tribute to the 11 oil rig workers who were killed when the BP well exploded in April by creating strong new safety standards for offshore drilling, ending the revolving door between government regulators and industry and holding BP and other oil companies accountable for accidents.

Absolutely disgusting, why doesn't this piece of excrement pay "tribute" to the folks who have died in West Virginia coal mines. Did he introduce anything of the sort after last years tragedy? Does anyone find it funny that these charlatans always claim they are killing jobs and raising taxes for some really noble cause?

Hastings called the new fees on oil and gas production a "$22 billion energy tax" that would cost jobs and raise energy prices. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the $2 per barrel fee on oil and a similar fee on natural gas could bring in $22.5 billion over the next decade.

More taxes to be passed on to the consumer.....folks really need to wake the hell up and see what these folks are doing. Hell this one is going to hurt everywhere.....at the pump, at the grocery, package delivery, refineries....

If the damn government would have done their job and enforced laws currently on the books, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided. But no, they are going to lash out and place the onus on everyone else.

These bastards won't be satisfied until they totally wreck the economy....

And the biggest kick in the arse in all of this?

It will only make the bigger companies that much more powerful. Everything these bastards do has the illusion of helping the small guy, but they only empower the big boys.

At the bottom of the article I was reading some of the posts and the absolute ignorance we have in this country is absolutely amazing.....

Oh and by the way, speaking of expensive gas, who was running the government when it was $4.25 or more per gallon? Hint: Big business and the republicans.

Have people really become this stupid? Is it the drinking water?

BP is doing NEW Deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, in the deep waters off Angola, Libya, and all over the world. This is shocking. I see the near future already, which holds another one of these runaway gushers. All industry -oil, fishing, mariculture, mining, military- it should all be banned from our oceans.

How about no offshore drilling period. The American people don't benefit from off shore drilling, multi national corporations do. The price of a barrel of oil is artificially inflated by traders and speculaters on Wall Street, Oil is bought and sold as a commodity, just like food. Wall Street has to make money...Its just to bad they do it off the backs of the middle class and the poor.

I wonder where all this would be if offshore workers were unionized.

Oil production would not be taking place in the US. Companies would be in foreign locations where they could operate without union interference.
