(6/14/2010) This issue is about who is more responsible for the BP diaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The incompetence, mismanagement and greed isn’t all on one side. BP caused the spill, but it looks like the Government helped it happen.
Also: The government has been collecting an eight cent tax on every barrel of oil since 1999, and it was supposed to go to the Oil Spill Liability Trust fund, which is capped at 2.7 Billion dollars. So where did all the extra money go? We could sure use it now!
Plus: A woman from Michigan fought the politically connected Kennecott Mining Company to keep them from ruining some local land. She failed, but she comes up a winner in this weeks “Good Guy” segment.
