"Not sure exactly what you mean by "required"."

In that "part of your monthly payment goes into an escrow account for payment of taxes and insurance". With no way to opt out of it. I suppose you could consider it voluntary in that you could always pay cash...

Yeah, right.

"So did BP with its promised $20 billion, but under extraordinary pressure."

What pressure was that? Harris' ACORN goons kneecapping them?

The $100 million fund for oil workers unemployed due to Obama's moratorium, which was the last piece apparently settled at the meeting yesterday, reminds me of a scene at a car dealership. After the buyer agrees to a $20,000 asking price, they spring a $100 document preparation fee on him. So he figures, I want to get out of here in less than an hour, what the heck.

Excellent analogy.
