That is what is so curious about American Conservatives. At least they state they are conservatives.

They have 'slated' answers for the 'jobs' topic in the USA.  Deregulate and don't tax.  That's always their answer.  Always.


One would think that after the drilling platform disaster of "The Deepwater Horizon" and the economic losses of the USA.  The destruction to the fisheries, the contaminated Louisiana coastline and the oil that still lays at the bottom of the Gulf a conservative would be able to size up the situation and realize the country is unable to sustain these tragedies alone.  


I am not talking about the BP Oil Companies liabilities.  It is about the sincere losses the USA has sustained that is going to contribute to the downturn and possible double dip recession.  I would think they would be able at least to measure all the tragedy that has occurred in the past year alone to realize how it all impacted any recovery effort.  


I would think after additionally putting the INCOMPETENCIES of the petroleum industry on display along Yellowstone River, wiping out farming operations, destroying the fish in a pristine river and cleaning up the mess with absorbent towels it would be all to obvious the economy was taking a huge hit.


And they never, ever seem to believe these companies are so untrustworthy they should be REGULATED to prevent economic hardship of the citizens.  I sincerely believe the Republicans are as incompetent as their cronies.  And by the donations of Senator Brown of Massachusetts from his cronies after handing the banking industry billions in breaks with Dodd-Frank it is all too obvious.  


You know I never really noticed how a Republicans head swivels when they look the other way, have you?

BILLINGS (AP) — A failed Exxon Mobil pipeline that spilled an estimated 42,000 gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River was expected to restart operations Saturday after getting approval from federal officials.
Changes made during repairs to the Silvertip pipeline have made it less likely to fail again, Montana Department of Environmental Quality Director Richard Opper said.
The line broke July 1 after flooding scoured the river bottom and exposed the 12-inch pipe, which was buried just five feet deep in some areas….
