I sure hope they do not lessen environmental regulations on that or liability of the corporations.

I sure hope they do not lessen environmental regulations on that or liability of the corporations. Although I do not approve of the way people scammed BP money, I still think that reasonable liability should exist. I bet half of BP money wound up in the hands of deceivers.
I bet there are more people with legitimate claims that were never paid then fraudulent claims paid. I still know people who have real claims and have never been paid a dime. Whenever there is a large settlement or class action lawsuits with big companies they use a pay out formula.
Something like pay out 60% of all claims made no matter what and never pay the rest of the 40% or draw them out so ling they give up. They have been using this formula for years. When 60% are satisfied it makes the other 40% with real claims who never got paid just look like cry babies.
F BP and the Coast Guard who willfully poisoned people to protect profits.
