Gov't: 23K workers affected by Gulf oil drill ban
August 21, 2010
WASHINGTON --A six-month ban on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would directly put more than 9,000 people out of work and indirectly affect another 14,000 jobs, according to a memo from the nation's top drilling regulator.
The federal document, which weighed the economic impact and alternatives to the ban, was sent to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on July 10 by Michael Bromwich.

Obama ordered the stoppage.....Bush made him do it.

Oh, it's going to go far beyond that, when the loss of production and increased costs are factored in.
Obama and his merry band of idiots don't seem to understand the concept of the ripple effect...then again, maybe they do all too well.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Oministration back off this about, oh, the first week of October, so the Dems will be able to say employment is on the rise and the alleged recovery is 'on track' for the last ten days of the campaign.
