The situation in the Gulf of Mexico is rapidly deteriorating. The danger to our country is so great that we all need to pull in the same direction to find a solution.
At the highest level, the problem is two-fold:
- Stop the flow of oil at the well head
- Stop the encroachment of the oil on our shores.
Sometimes, bureaucratic read tape needs to succumb to the immediate necessities of a given situation. The Feds need to spend less time attempting to find fault and regulate the aftermath. There is time for that AFTER the current situation is dealt with.
The Feds need to remove EPA/governmental roadblocks that are keeping the locals from protecting there livelihoods; their way of life. Build the sand barriers just as fast as you can. Maybe a few well placed Executive Orders need to flow out of the White House.
We all expect a successful conclusion to this situation. Well intentioned Americans need to cheer for anyone that helps bring that success home, regardless of party affiliation. This is an American problem. We need to solve it as Americans.
