It is hard for me to read this article without seeing that the current Congress does not give one jot about the people that is suffering directly and indirectly of BPs oil spill. All the advertisements on television that BP will stay till it is over with is a lie.
Since NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) started, it has been the big corporations that have run this country. I should say ruin this country. From the moment NAFTA came into law, nearly 900,000 jobs were lost in the United States of America. Over 400,000 of those jobs came from one industry, Russell Mills in Alexander City, Alabama. To this day, jobs have still fallen or has not come close to what it was before NAFTA.
I believe if Obama cared about getting BP to do what is right, it would have been done a long time ago. This one article has told me that nothing will be done. BP will get away with murdering all those people, and destroying the businesses and live that live on the coast lines. The rest of America will suffer along with them as time passes. This issue is more than a economic disaster, but a blatant attempt, by BP and our government, to say to the people of this country “screw you!”
When you listen to the election coverage, listen to how both parties will state how they will help us with the economy and lack of jobs. Watch for key words and how they present themselves. The bottom line these politicians care abut, from all these political messages, is their own agendas. No politician is really concerned with the future of everyone they work for, WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMIERICA. If they are some that do care, please let me know who they are. The list should not long. I will add them to this post.
The legal system, the Supreme Courts, are not all that better. Everyone was warned how elongated taking BP to court and the cost. Everyone knows that what BP had done is dead wrong, but they are getting away with everyone that died in that explosion. They are getting away with all the damages in the businesses on the gulf, the damages of the marine life and other wild life that lived on or near the gulf coast, etc. It is amazing how month earlier all the politicians were talking about taking care of the planet before this BP oil spill mess. Now they not talking about taking care of the planet.
A few months back President Obama declared he will take care of all that has suffered from Katrina and the oil spill. Lately he has been absolutely quiet on this issue. Instead of the federal government taking full responsibility with what this article has stated, Kenneth R. Feinberg is all alone holding the bag. You will not read any quote from our current President or any other politician in this article. I do not think any one will in the future. Once again politics has failed its people. Being a public servant means being a servant.
There is a place for government in our lives and there is a place in which we must do our part. The people that are suffering from BP’s oil spill has done all they could. President Obama has pledge to do all he can to help and get BP to take full blame. All BP is doing is lying on national television with their propaganda advertisements. If BP did care as they claimed they would be overtly doing something about this mess. They have not done a damn thing to date as you will read in this article.
Every politician from the Democrats to the Republicans have kept silent. They are too #@*%^ concerned about being re-elected. While we suffer how can we vote for them? Should be boycott this election altogether? Would they listen if no one voted at all in this election? Keeping the ones that are in office now be the right thing to do?
The bottom line is not a rethink,but why was it not done right the first time? We all are suffering while they do a rethink.
