1. In the wake of the BP oil spill, some members of Congress propose raising or even eliminating the cap on liability costs for oil companies drilling off the U.S. coast. Currently companies like BP must pay to clean up, but liability costs are capped at $75 million (if they are not found guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct.).

Do you agree with raising or eliminating the cap?

Survey Says!

Last week's CyberPoll asked if the European debt crisis has put the U.S. economic recovery in jeopardy. Here's a breakdown of responses: Yes, the stock decline is a portend of economic reality: 43.8%; No, investors are simply safeguarding their profits and capital: 31.2%; and I am not sure, but I am worried about the European economy: 25%. One reader commented, "Not just the U.S. stock markets, the global markets are not doing well; understatement!! No surprise, either. The world is very nervous. The recent North Korean incident, the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe, bailout requests for teacher's unions, public schools in deep trouble and laying off 275,000 teachers, the poor unemployment numbers, and looming inflation, among other issues. There is very little to be positive about in describing the current global economy!!" Follow this link to share your thoughts on this topic.
