The BP oil spill is a disaster in every sense with plenty of blame to go around. But, like Hurricane Katrina, it once again proves that you CANNOT rely on the Federal government to bail you out of any natural disaster. They are to inefficient, bureaucratic , and incompetent to do anything of the sort and if you are going to bet your life on them coming to your rescue, you could find yourself 6 feet under very quickly!
Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal is rightfully furious at the lack of Fed response and wants to take matters into his own hands to protect the coastline of his state. His idea is to build an artificial island to protect the inland marshes from the oil. The EPA is telling him he cannot do that without their permission because it could affect the ecology near the island and theoretically arrest him for acting on his own! Are you kidding me? Affect the ecology?? What the hell do you think WILL DEFINITELY happen if you DON’T try Jindal’s idea?? Outrageous! This is yet another example of the Feds stepping on the right of a sovereign state to handle its own problems.
What to talk about next?? More teacher bailouts? Pension fund bailouts?? The EPA and the Gulf Oil Spill? Arizona updates?? The Sestak controversy?? So much Socialism to report on, so little time!
