(53,661 posts)This is a Koch brothers operation from all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico where the oil is to be sent to a Koch-owned refinery to go into tankers and be sold abroad.
Without one dime of taxes paid one inch of the way across those miles nor will the USA get any oil out of it. Naturally, they want to eliminate the DOE, EPA and any other agency through strangling the federal government of funds.
And there will be a total of from 15 to 35 permanent jobs along the entire pathway from it and local communities will suffer, but then with ALEC lawmakers being supported by teahadists, and others sitting back and wailing, it goes on.
This is a deal that is being made as if the USA does no longer exists, the end of the safety net we are demagogued about being cut or changed, when the goal is to make us bow to the tyranny of the Koch brothers for all of the necessities of life. We might as well change this country's name from the USA to Koch Kingdom if this continues.
Thanks GOP for continuing to brainwash the left and the right with your teaparty and conspiracy theory media while you create libertarian hell here in America.
Woke up cranky.
