re: #288 Killgore Trout

I haven’t been following that criticism but according to media matters…
Myth: Obama admin turned down foreign assistance in dealing with oil cleanup

At least that give a starting point if you want to look into it.

Thanks, Killgore.

I’ve heard various stories about this, that “the unions” didn’t want foreign help with this. If that were the case, honestly, I would be perfectly happy with jobs going to US citizens rather than foreign citizens. The job situation is one of the reasons I want that moratorium lifted.

Anyhow - I haven’t seen anything super credible about foreign aid generally being turned down, mainly just general bitching about this or that specific offer.
