| 51. The US Govt needs to act NOW. |

BP can be sued for reimbursment afterwards. There is no time to bicker about who should pay. This disaster has the potential to destroy the Gulf of Mexico, every mile of coastline along the Gulf and east coast of the US (with the Gulf Stream).
What is going to be more costly? Paying to stop this gusher and clean it up now, or losing most of the fishing and tourism industries in the eastern half of the US later?
