You would think they would have a back up plan for this shit with the profits they make. And Obama giving them tax breaks.

There was a safety valve that was proposed to be mandatory on ALL US offshore drilling. It was going to be a law...but the Bush administration nixed it.
Why?
Too expensive.
How expensive?
$500,000.
As in half a million dollars.
I think BP made 6 billion last quarter. Can anyone do the math here and figure out how long it woulda taken them to pay for the safety valve that the Bush/Cheney crew let them off the hook for?
