Obamanomics

well, i'm pretty sure we're not thnking of the pipeline as OUR infrastructure.

our infrastructure is bridges, roads, trains, etc., all of which are in dire need of repair.

Pipelines are infrastructure.

In the United States.

I responded to that.

thanks.

it's about 40 permanent jobs in the US. and me? I think environmentally it was a train wreck.

The transfer of oil via the railroad is damn scary, particularly through densely populated urban areas.

And that's what's going to happen.

The crude is still going to come out of the ground. But instead of it being transported into America by pipeline, it's going to be transported by rail or tankers.

"The Keystone pipeline isn't good for the economy. It won't create many jobs."

Immediately followed by

"What would create jobs is an infrastructure program."

Wow.



Outstanding.

He's right. Keystone would help the Canadian economy and give the US a mere 40 or so jobs. Better to spend on ourselves, and that includes infrastructure of our own.

^^^ speaking of stupidity. It would create several thousand high paying union construction jobs, that's why unions have been pissed the leftist asshole won't approve it.

I agree with that. I think we should be exploring alternative energies.

i'd probably support nuclear energy if we had a means to assure the safe transit of waste and protect the safety of the areas surrounding nuclear plants. I had a neighbor who came from Chernobyl. he died of cancer of few years ago.

roads and bridges are infrastructure that we can't live without vs that pipeline which we can live without..

you don't care about construction jobs or you'd be supporting jobs programs working on our bridges and tunnels and trains, etc.

Canadians shouldn't even be sending that crap to the US. Let them build their own refineries.

 

[jillian]

I wonder if Canada will now declare war?

Obama was scared Harper would have kicked his butt.

But nobody is scared of a Trudeau.

And yet Trudeau kicked Harper's butt.

that's because he's really hot.

He is kind of cute, isn't he? Must be the french blood

I was listening to NPR the other day and the reporter was drooling over him. lol.

it's my understanding it wouldn't even be for our own use but would go to the multinational oil companies and go to where ever they feel like sending it.

That's what the Canadian Left would like also.

And that's what might eventually happen.

The American refineries want it, though.

The real reason why this has been stopped is because US environmentalists don't want the Oil Sands mined. It will have virtually zero effect on the environment because it's coming out of the ground regardless of Keystone.

Yep. So the entire thing is pointless. We aren't in the business of boosting the Canadian economy.

The American economy added 271,000 jobs in October, the government reported Friday, a very strong showing that makes an interest-rate increase by the Federal Reserve much more likely when policy makers meet next month.

[Toro]

roads and bridges are infrastructure that we can't live without vs that pipeline which we can live without..

That's a different argument, though.

What the President said was that this infrastructure project wouldn't create jobs. Then, literally in the very next breath, he said we should support an infrastructure bill because it would create jobs.

FTR I think we should have an infrastructure bill. But for Obama to contradict himself literally in the very next sentence is staggering.

I guess we don't need an infrastructure bill then because we are already creating lots of jobs.

Don't flap your lips at me lib its the Democratic party unions who are upset about this. Hey they can always get an Obama job flipping burgers. Got nothing to say? Yeah I thought so crawl away and lick your wounds.

American refineries will do anything to make a profit. That's why their safety record is so bad and why their are so many explosions at refineries.

There are many pipelines already in use every day. Some pipelines are over 50 years old and have had no problems at all.
