burdensome. that s the fact and what the businesses small and large are looking at. i, myself, am not a huge sympathizer with the business lobbyists who play ball with the obama administration, who think they can cut deals and then they look up in shock and say this isn t going to be good for us. they should be principle defender of the limited government. true. look at all the industries that made deals on the healthcare bill. health insurers de insurers decided they would happily take cut in margin if they made it up in volume with the 30 million new customers that universal coverage theoretically promised them. they made a big deal. so did big pharma. in terms of the financial reform bill, the banks got off light. they ll still be as big as they want to be. they won t be allow they are still sitting on $1.8 trillion of cash not investing it and that s a problem. i don t think they are doing
back our reputation and trying to do that. as the hearings were underway, b.p. showed sign of progress in the effort to install a cap on the leaking well. company officials said the first of two relief wells should be complete before the end of the month allowing b.p. to permanently plug the well with drilling mud and cement in august. at the hearing, local economic development official spoke of the oil spill s multi-pronged impact. first on fishing industry and moratorium. the moratorium is real. 210,000 jobs in louisiana, alone. each rig supports 230 jobs on average. the seven commissioners appointed by president obama in may, including experts in engineering, public policy and the environment, drawing criticism that the oil industry is underrepresented at best. prior to appointment to the panel, several members wrote
might. bret: okay. thank you much. on day 84 of the oil spill, b.p. work on a new tighter cap to the broken well. the company promised to do the right thing in a public forum for residents of the region hurt by the oil spill. the interior secretary is making a bid to prevent possibility of accidents halting offshore drilling again. correspondent jonathan serrie has the latest from new orleans. the obama administration revived moratorium on offshore drilling will extend to any deep water floating facility, not just those in water of more than 500 feet. presidential commission may help determine how long the policy stays in place and the other measures are in place to regulate the oil industry. among those testifying in the two-day meeting in new orleans, vermont vice president ken wells. i know we have made mistakes along the way but we re committed to do everything we can to earn
