You dumbfuc, symbolic means there was nothing to clean up and that is only under the assumption a spill is bad.
97% of the science community does not think a spill is bad.
Unfortunately low information voters are incapable of grasping complex concepts.
Like pollution is not really a good thing.

Everything that belongs to nature that "man" has touched or thought he could make better, in the long run became fucked up. So lets keep our money where it belongs, in the pockets of Americans, not governments/blue blood snobs who will squander it.
After all President Obama
and "The Obama administration’s climate strategy began with a massive infusion of $90 billion in green-energy financing in the stimulus, which set off a wave of new investment and research in wind, solar, storage, and other measures. Obama signed the stimulus in his first month in office, and hoped it would launch the passage of a cap-and-trade law and an international climate agreement in Copenhagen. But the strategy derailed badly. The 2009 negotiations in Copenhagen virtually collapsed, and cap and trade was blocked by a coalition of a handful of Democrats from fossil-fuel-producing states and almost the entire Republican Party".
