must be for the free gov. money, the corp welfare billions??

The gulf states have had thousands of gulf oil wells, what is there like 30,000 capped old leakie wells in the gulf? Yet those states have the crappiest schools, worse roads in America.

We should not be allowing Corps to drill anywhere the local Americans have not seen improvement in 100 years.
