the government speaks, whether it's president obama or other officials, they always say, remember, bp will be paying this back. and while i was looking at this, i was curious about how many claims. listen to this. 95,000 claims have been submitted so far, more than 47,000 payments have been made. so we'll talk about a bunch of billions of dollars. but i want to keep something in mind. look how much money bp makes. this was profits. just profits. in 2009. $16.6 billion. so we're talking about just a fraction of its profits, when you look at the costs here. and we have a long way to go. remember this? this escrow account that bp has set up. and this is in coordination with the government, president obama organized this. it's a $20 billion escrow account that will be used for some of these payments. and we have to keep in mind that for years, there could be lawsuits against bp, there could be all sorts of steps taken against bp, and this company could keep paying for years and years. that said, their major oil giant makes a lot of money. and one way to see that is take a look at this interactively we have for you. right here, this is on cnn.com right now.
