... obstruct the Keystone Pipeline and another 20,000 jobs, that didn't smother ...
I've debunked the exagerated job numbers concerning the pipeline already. Why keep repeating a number you know that isn't true?
Right.
You gave a lowball estimate of 5 to 7 thousand jobs. But that's still thousands of jobs. Assuming your lowball is more reliable an estimate than 20,000 jobs estimated in the first place.
And Canada's Keystone Pipeline would also be a safe and reliable foreign oil source from the nation most friendly to the U.S., and that alternative source would also give us a bargaining tool for negotiating much lower prices from the Mid-East OPEC nations. Vastly lowering our trade deficit, 800 billion of which goes for foreign oil alone.
Obama's economy is a house of cards built on foreign credit of an incredible 1.5 trillion a year in deficit spending (4 times that of his predecessor Bush), that will inevitably collapse the dollar.
Any of the Republican candidates are pushing for increasing domestic oil production, and encouraging the return of good-paying jobs to the U.S.
