Goldman Sachs' betting against the oil well in the gulf. I can't believe they weren't working on future knowledge. Looks like a coup to stop all drilling in the gulf for the rest of time. They intend to keep the price high and control the economy though price gouging. I say the damage is already done. There is proof that there are massive oil fields there and I don't believe we should quit drilling. We should make sure in the future that all safety devices are in place and work. I think economically it has a direct bearing on the debt clock.
The fact that United States Citizens continue to allow this travesty is amazing to me. When I tell this to most people they have no concept of how serious the debt situation is. It's like they are glassy-eyed and have no idea they are dumping all this debt on their future generations.
These politicians who do this are the embodiment of EVIL. Those citizens who go along with it are just as guilty. A terrible shame.

Here's one for the oil spill. I don't know how accurate it is, though. Nobody may know for sure.

I do not think so --- the damage has only started, to date the oil is more or less stable in it's present form. Just wait a few months, did you know 1 quart of oil can supposedly pollute 250,000 gallons of water once dispersed? --- you do the math. I think Eric Dollard had it correct when he said---"The American dream is to destroy the planet", lol, and to date I would say they are doing one hell of a job.

Estimates I've seen, were a large power of magnitude greater than that. Swap gallon for barrels, and make that PER DAY in stead of total. The counter moves so slowly, it seems about to reverse :-)
The debt clock has been "accelerating" for a year or so. Look at the numbers for a minute, at the end note the total debt, and refresh the page. You'll see it was estimating increase of debt too slowly as it was scrolling the numbers impressively.

I tend to agree. I've seen the high resolution video of the top of the blowout preventor, and at least one expert said the leak was a multiple of times worse without the riser pipe attached. I'd say so. It was coming out faster, by my memory than when I saw it first. 2,000,000-2,500,000 gallons/day seems closer to the truth.

Indeed, I agree. The Obama administration borrowed (literally?) a more(?) than a ton of one dollar bills to pay for a bigger bubble that will burst
again. Brilliant! ::)
