David is right. The Federal Court has established a very strict set of objective guidelines for determining if a company actually experienced loss. It is extremely difficult, to get away with ‘getting free money’ and fraud at that.

Not blaming Republicans or Democrats or anyone of that nature. But it is interesting to note that when BP has to pay out Millions apon Millions of dollars to local business who claim to be affected by the oil gusher the price of Gasoline magically goes up 10 cents or so to cover their losses and legal fees. In the end BP does not loose money, they do just like every other business in which they hand the consumer the bill by increasing their prices of their goods and services. It dosen’t matter what the price of crude oil is or the amount of supply of gasoline they have on hand, they will set the price and you will pay it. It’s that simple.

I believe the GOP cry when President Obama held the culprits accountable and forced them to put money in an escrow account to cover the damage was “highway robbery”, funny how the wind blows.

Dear Sirs, BP has already accepted responsibility for the disaster and a trial is now underway to establish the extent of their negligence. Most importantly the “individuals and business’s” must compensated before the counties and Government Agencies. The victims bore the brunt of the BP disaster, and many are still waiting for compensation, three years after the event. Pressure must be applied by the Judicial system to force BP to process and pay all legitimate claims without any further delays. Clearly these delays are part of a tactic by BP lawyers in order to break the spirit of the claimants, who will then accept a token offer to settle.
