GOP Ties Payroll Cuts and Unemployment Benefits to Canada Pipeline - GOOD JOB GOP!!!!

[edthecynic]

Yeah.......but lets not forget the studies that state it will create a huge carbon footprint.

Oh wait........forgot..........you guys believe climate change is a myth.

If that's true, why is there no snow in Sweden this year? Wanna talk about the hottest summer in the US in many years?

New Jersey had eight inches of snow in October .....

Not where I live at the shore. We got nothing but rain.

 

[Rozman]

It's gonna be fun to see the response to this...he heh

 

[The Rabbi]

And pray tell, how much oil did they pump during those 10 years???

Obviously enough to be profitable.

None at all, it was CAPPED. It was not capped properly and exploded. The only oil that made it on to the market was the oil that was skimmed off after the leak!!! So much for reducing our dependence on foreign oil and lowering the price with new finds of oil.
CON$ are the most gullible people on Earth!!!

Wrong.

During its operational lifetime, the rig was actively in operation for 93% of its working life (2,896 of 3,131 days). The remainder partly relates to time spent between sites

 

[Mr.Nick]

Americans may well be glad to work on such a project, but mostly Canadians will get the jobs.

This line is supposed to stretch to Texas eventually, not to mention Canada only has a population of 30,000,000 and the US has a population of 300,000,000. They may need some help as well.

It's going to take more than 30 million Canadians to build it!?!
They might need some low paid grunts, so they will probably hire Mexicans.

I never implied that...

My point was that there are 10x more Americans than there are Canadians and this would be a big job.

 

[Mr.Nick]

I believe this is an opportunity to earn some money.....

Nothing wrong with that.

Again, that oil is going to end up somewhere, so I'm not seeing the problem.

This will create thousands of new jobs.

 

[uscitizen]

Hmm a good thread to study.

What happened to the automatic accross the board cuts to kick in with the failure of the stupor comittee?

This is a private sector job... Which is probably another reason why dems oppose it...

Yep a private sector weilding the power of eminent domain to take private property for the pipeline.

House GOP Claims Support For Payroll Tax Cut Compromise | Fox News

First, I want to say it's a god damn shame that the GOP has to FORCE the Democrats to create this pipeline that will create tens of thousand high paying direct American jobs and thousand other support jobs! Not to mention it will increase oil production and lower oil prices. Dimocrats "claim" they want to create jobs, this is an SIMPLE way to create tens of thousands of high paying jobs. Liberalism is a mental disease. AND THIS TRUE STIMULUS PROGRAM AND JOB CREATING PROJECT WON'T COST THE TAX PAYOR $1 , it is completely funded by private sector money!

Second, the GOP is compromising by extending the payroll holiday (which I am grateful for) without being able to pay for it (which is a bad move in long-term) and extending unemployment benefits even longer (another LT bad move), yet the Dimocrats still claim the GOP is not compromising, since the GOP ties it an ENORMOUS job creating machine.


If the Dimocrats in the Senate reject this, they are truly socialist that prefer to doom the economy and if Obama vetos this, then I don't want to hear ANYONE get angry when we JUSTIFIABLY call him a Marxist!

We NEED this pipeline. Even Obama agrees. Obmaa has stated many times he wants to put "America back to work" This pipeline and the ongoing use of it will create thousands of good to high paying mostly UNION jobs or at least union scale paying jobs. So why is Obama threatening to veto it? Because he is such an egomaniac. He is pissed off because HIS bill got the collective boot. Even from members of the democrat party. Obama is kowtowing to the environmental lobby which carries great weight in elections.
There is NO Earthly reason to hold up or ban this pipeline or the Bill.
It's politics. Politics of the Left. Politics of ego. Obama's enormous ego and his belief he is superior.

Nice to see how you really feel about constitutionally guaranteed rights.

The unions want this pipeline, so he's between a barrack and a hard place. satisfy the eco nutz and risk the ire of the unions??? tsk tsk.

Democrats thrive on crisis. They aren't happy unless everyone is unhappy. The "best" way to keep Americans poor and unhappy is to keep the cost of energy high. If the pipeline would lower energy prices you can bet your ass-ets that Barry will veto it.

 

[paulitician]

Democrats always claim Tax Cuts don't create jobs,so why are they suddenly so gung-ho about cutting Taxes? This pipeline is guaranteed to create an awful lot of jobs. I don't get the President and Democrat stance on this one. Just take the Tax Cuts and the jobs. Everybody wins.

Please pass the Patriot Act to keep us safe.

LMFAO!

Remember when Barry promised to wean Americans off fossil fuels? He knew that solar energy was a joke and gigantic windmills were a bigger joke and there is no substitute for fossil fuel. He pretended that alternate sources of energy were right around the corner but it was a lie.. Democrats blocked every attempt in the last half century to become independent of foreign oil. Why would democrats keep energy prices high? Because they are stupid? Maybe, but more likely they have a vision for America that would (literally) send a chill up your spine. Democrats thrive on crisis mentality. When people are cold in the winter and too poor to buy gas in the summer the democrat party comes along and promises to fix the problem just like they fixed the "war on poverty 40 years ago.

 

[paulitician]

This really was brilliant on the part of Republicans. Now we'll see how serious this President and Democrats really are about jobs. Because we all know cutting Taxes doesn't create jobs (wink wink). But this pipeline will.

Those windmills are starting to break down and the union labor to repair them makes them redundant - hell the cost of union labor to put them up was redundant..

They tried that shit around here and it was voted down severely....

Aww Screw the God damned carbon footprint garbage. Man made global warming is a myth.
This whole carbon thing is a political ploy perpetuated by the left in order to collect more taxes. PERIOD.
Genius. The Earth's climate is cyclical. Every time one of you enviro -nazi's whine it's laughable.
None of you will acknowledge the warm period of the late 12th and early 13th centuries where written record indicate snowless winters across the globe.
Must have been the well to do monarchies tooling about in their horse drawn coaches
which kicked up too much dust and created a greenhouse effect.
Or, even funnier, the end of the ice age. Oh yeas. Those mother fucking SUV's did that.
This dip shit for a President proposing an utterly ridiculous 54 MPG fleet wide average.
And of course this nonsensical green energy shit. Of course both of these ideas are totally unfunded. That's why we're hearing about (knee) cap and (tax) trade. Which does nothing to reduce emissions. But it provides a lucrative source of money for politicians in Washington to blow on bullshit.

Wrong.
The rig started digging in Feb 2010 at that site and in April 2010 the spill happened. The new found oil was being capped when it exploded. The new oil was not ever intended to be put on the market or bring the price down. It was being capped to keep the oil off the market and the price high.
Cap, Baby, Cap.
