How much spilled?

Sunday, 2:00 PM Central time: about 19,500,000 gallons of oil spilled into the gulf.

This is why we need government. Officials regulate and stop greedy corporations who place the profit over the people.

With the Gulf under attack, what is to become of the environment, the jobs, and most of all the living things--people included--who now have to live with this mess not in their backyard, but as a part of their backyard--perhaps for years and years to come.

This is why deregulation is not the correct method to solve economic issues. If we had stood up against deregulation, this would probably not have happened.

And don't blame Obama. He was for stronger regulation, but he has to fight a large political party that still believes deregulation is the best way to go.
