Most of them in 2 years.

The total wealth of the United States in 2008 to be $118 trillion.

$118 trillion divided by 313 million = $554,000 to each individual person. Of course that isn't cash laying around but the value of houses and everything else.

Hey, would be worth the entertainment value to watch every citizen in Detroit or Baltimore get $500k in cash.

I suppose it depends, to a degree, how hard the rock is.

Not to bad most of the time.

Just knowing when we hit water takes skill and expertise......the rest is shoveling mud.

You're a true American, and I thank you for helping bring fuel to the people. All the best to you and your crews. America needs more, many more, like you.

Obama's been busy declaring Americans as enemies and kissing our foreign enemies butts.

Expecting to be paid more than your skills are worth is someone who does not operate in reality.
