U.S. Royalty Plan to Give Windfall to Oil Companies - New York Times:
"The federal government is on the verge of one of the biggest giveaways of oil and gas in American history, worth an estimated $7 billion over five years."

"It's one of the greatest train robberies in the history of the world,' said Representative George Miller, a California Democrat who has fought royalty concessions on oil and gas for more than a decade. 'It's the gift that keeps on giving."
A Valentines Day gift from our government to their buddies in Big Oil (aka business as usual).

Just so you don't feel left out here's one for you.
