I urge support for the Vitter amendment. It does two very simple things: It says any money coming into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund can only be used to clean up oil spills. It also says the money cannot be used as an offset for unrelated spending, as it is in this bill. It cannot be used to mask other deficit spending or as an offset for unrelated spending. The amendment specifically does not negate or block the tax increase of funds into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.

Was not this practice, in fact, by the numbers part of the Wells culture by definition because it was so widespread for so long a period of time?
Why isn't this crystal clear proof that an entity as big as Wells is not only too big to fail, but it is too big to manage and it is too big to regulate?
We need tough new laws to hold corporate executives personally accountable, and we need tough prosecutors who have the courage to go after people at the top.
We need to get out of this cycle of slashing State funding and replacing it with tuition increases because that can't go on without limit. It really risks affordability.
