BP makes down payment on $20 billion fine
 

They made a $3 billion deposit (after federal bureaucrats get their hands on it will be more like $1 billion or less!) and will make another $2 billion deposit next quarter, and $1.25 biilion each subsequent quarter until $20 billion has been paid.

So, how much of the total $20 billion do you think the government CURRENTLY plans on keeping for "administrative costs"?
If it's like the general government process, it'll probably be at least 50%, because we all know how hard our government officials work?

In 3 years we will have nothing to show for it. If we have learned anything from this bunch it's that $20 billion won't get you much.

you can find Gold in Ore but not SCUM

Sheeet... that just means they have extra money for more Gulfstreams.... Thats Jets boys,,, remember they wanted two but decided 4 was more that reasonable,,,,
