We Don't Need the Jobs

In the wake of the BP oil spill, the administration shut down much of the American-associated oil drilling in the Gulf, in the face of court disapproval.  The move also shut down thousands of jobs, both direct oil rig employment and ancilliary jobs.

Think it is all about environmental concerns?  Apparently not.

The US is subsidizing both Brazilian and Mexican drilling in the Gulf to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars.

Are we sacrificing US jobs so Brazil and Mexico can have them?  

OofDah!
