Yes, Haley, That Might Be A Problem Too

But if they don't set aside the money, Haley, people won't get paid! It's called taking responsibility:

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi's governor said Wednesday he's not sure the federal government should have made BP put $20 billion into escrow to compensate victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill because the company needs it to drill more wells and make money so it can pay up.

..."If they take a huge amount of money and put it in an escrow account so they can't use it to drill oil wells and produce revenue, are they going to be able to pay us?" Gov. Haley Barbour told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday.

...Most of Mississippi's beaches remain clean because currents are carrying oil eastward toward Alabama, where officials have warned people not to swim some days in some waters.
