IT'S STOPPED.... for now ~! Time for BP to pay up ~!

     Well, ONLY 87 days into Bp's "accident" -- the Gulf of Mexico oil SPILL -- at around 2:00 p.m. EST today (7/l5/10) it WAS STOPPED.  But for how long?    And only after spewing something like 60,000 barrels per day into the waters, shutting down 100's of jobs for shrimpers, oyster fishermen, recreational supports, the "small" people employed in processing, cooking and selling seafood, et al.
     So how big is 60,000 times 87 days???  Maybe 5 million plus???  (5,220,000 if my calculator went that high).  The "fine" (supposedly imposed by our gummint) was reported as $4,300.00 PER BARREL.  I KNOW my calculator won't go THAT high, but it might be $22,446,000,000.00 and I SURE can't count THAT high -- $22.5 billion???

     DON'T I WISH !

     And another big number:  that big guy who owned some ball team (baseball ???), Bob Steinbrener or whoever, died this week and his heirs will NOT be paying some $5 MILLION in inheritance taxes, thanks to a loophole for this year, 2010, ONLY, "suspending" inheritance taxes -- which WOULD have gone into the Federal teasurery per one reported.  Oh well, we're only a trillion $$$'s in the hole so that's hardly walking around money.  Thanks Bushie ~!
