Further, the oil spill itself caused way more economic damage than the moratorium. The article I posted earlier in this thread said 25% of the nation’s small businesses were negatively impacted by the oil spill.

Glad to see you agree the Government regulation ADDED to the damages.
That’s right, the Government regulations took a bad situation and made it worse. This is typical Government regulation impact. Clean water is good, clean air is good. Something is funny when a business has to put water into the sewer cleaner than it comes out of the tap because of their business and the regulations.
What examples do we have? Hmm, I don’t know. Why did Denny’s restuarants, a local California firm move it’s HQ jobs out of California?
Why did Nissan move it’s work from Los Angeles’ South Bay to Tennesee?
Why does Apple manufacture it’s computers in China?
DayStar makes Photovoltaic cells, guess what, they’re setting up manufacturing overseas instead of here in California.
SMA America manufactures Solar Power systems based in the Bay Area, where are they building their new $200 Million plant? Denver.
Power One, a Camarillo manufacture of Solar Power systems is building in Phoenix, 350 jobs to Phoenix instead of California.
