Here's an idea; Rather than wait for BP to pay up, seize the well. Nationalize it as part of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and to make LA, FL and any other states this shit washes up on whole.
There's 50 Million barrels down there, about $5 Billion worth.
We'd also see immediate income as we'd stop taking "in kind" payments of oil to the strategic reserve from these oil companies and start collecting cash.
