The gov't won't let prices deflate. Everything will cost the same or more but like cheap shoddy goods you import from China, it won't do its job or performed as it was designed. ps. what'd we have, 12 agencies overseeing off shore drilling. I suppose if we had a few more agencies none of this would have happened, n'est ce pas?
What we refuse to do voluntarily and sensibly will be foisted upon us later.. and with dire consequences. Then again, I've heard a politician proclaim... "a problem postponed is a problem solved"...
