No taxpayer should ever be on the hook.

If we don't act, if we are timorous and if we have an enhanced likelihood similar to the Macondo, that we are all going to be pointed at as to why we were unable to recognize and why we were unwilling to act in the public interest.

I believe the American public would be outraged.

If you did a case study of agency capture, I believe that the MMS would be a good place to start.
