TAX PAYERS GET IT

Republicans for the second time blocked legislation that would increase oil companies' liability for oil spill damages, setting off criticism from Democrats seeking to make BP pay for the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.


Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) on Tuesday blocked a bill Democrats have put forward to raise the liability cap from $75 million to $10 billion. He said on the Senate floor he agrees the cap should be raised, but the Senate should "wait and see where the cap should be."


"If you have it too high you are going to be singling out BP and the other four largest majors and the nationalized companies, such as China and Venezuela, and shutting out the independent producers," he said.


Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) blocked the legislation last week.


President Obama released a statement saying he is disappointed by the Republicans' objections.


"This maneuver threatens to leave taxpayers, rather than the oil companies, on the hook for future disasters like the BP oil spill," he said. "I urge the Senate Republicans to stop playing special interest politics and join in a bipartisan effort to protect taxpayers and demand accountability from the oil companies."


Roll Call reports that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), one of the sponsors of the legislation, reportedly asked, "This is really about whose side do you stand on? Do you stand up with the taxpayers or with multibillion-dollar oil companies?"

You have got be kidding, the government is spending our great grandkids in a debt that will stop them from having the oppertunities our generation has had talk about tax payers gettin it and you are still worried about class warfare. Lets get those rich folks, a company should be responsible for their actions just like the government and the everyday working american. Simple as that, have you ask yourself who was inspecting those oil rigs, that's right the government. It's just as much the governments fault as it is BP. Both of them should come together and work toward fixing the problem and work towards it not happening again instead of the PR BS AND THE FINGER POINTING.

Taxing companies into extinction is not going to solve anything nor is it going to create jobs. PMB take some economic classes before you spew a bunch of rhetoric about how bad the Republicans are and how they are stopping progress, then take a few Civic classes and learn something about Government works.

Dr. Phil would go into to detail, just for Dufus, to sort out all the differences between the two

I tell you what, he's your boy, you can have him! The rest of us deserve better!

PMB you should be ashamed, all you can continue to do is republican this and republican that and most of what you post is either simple liberal rhetoric/talking points or just plain made up lies with ZERO proof. YOU ARE A SAD CASE. While the government sits on its hands and tries to demonize BP, the oil is moving right on down the coast line.

Had the government excepted help from the other countries that offered and built the berms Jindal wanted and put out the booms long before they finally did, the oil would have not have done near the damage it is doing. No conservative wants the government to take over BP, it would just be good to see them doing their part to contain this mess rather than playing the blame game.

[bluemouse]

Pinenut do you even watch the news, the most liberal paper in the world the New york times has called your savior a failure. The most liberal dem in california has called him a failure, your vice president is watching soccer and blowing a horn in the ear of Tutu. Watch the oil keep coming because of the red tape and obumers inability to handle the situation.

[Newt]

Rufus and Obama have proven Carl Rove a prophet. Back in January, when Obama took office, Carl Rove pointed out that liberals/progressives have a great ability to complain, point the finger, and blame others. In the past they haven't shown much ability to govern and solve problems.
It appears that Rove knew what he was talking about.
Obama the Great Community Oraganizer's solution is form a commitee then threaten ligation unless they turn over all their money.

NO the president should get his azz down to the gulf coast and be a leader, organize, prioritize and do the part that is the federal governments responsibility for and does not include taking over BP. IN STEAD HE JUST CONTINUES BLAMING ANYBODY THAT COMES TO MIND AND PUSHING HIS PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.
