How the Jones Act and Labor Unions are Blocking Oil Spill Cleanup
June 11, 2010 report by Fox News' Brian Wilson on how the 1920 Jones Act is preventing friendly countries from helping us clean up the Gulf Oil ...

U.S. not accepting foreign help on oil spill . . .the State Department emailed reporters identifying the 13 entities that had offered the U.S. oil spill assistance. They were the governments of Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations.

In response to Katrina, Bush temporarily waived the Jones Act to enable fuel deliveries in US ports. (MSNBC spin)

BP, feds could make millions from runaway well's oil

Maybe they had the foresight to realize that they needed a real big bad spill in order to justify their shutdown of further deep water drilling?
IMO that is the real result of this and the one that actually damages the USA.
I'll bet that 95% of all traces of any spill will be gone in a year, but any further erosion of our domestic oil production has serious and far reaching future consequences.
