Wonder which will do more damage...

Everyone on the board is so focused on the oil spill, you don't see as much questioning on how the Obama administration is angling not to let this "crisis go to waste".
Here's exactly how they'll use it to their political and financial self-serving benefit.

So at the end of the day, we should be asking ourselves which in the long run will do more damage to the nation and our efforts to fish. Said it before and will say it again, at least BP produces something and gives us a product for our money. I consider this less evil than taking my money forcefully from me with no real plan to give me anything in return; instead only having an aim to modify my behaviour through financial punishment.
Understanding the article and how difficult it is to reverse taxation trends, I'll put my money on the Obama-bill doing more long term damage. Nature will clean up it's act in due time. I have far less optimism that our politicians will.
