Republicans like to point to Keystone XL as one of their signature jobs bills and, when oil prices are high, like to imply that it would mean cheap oil flowing free in America. But Tuesday afternoon they voted down two Democratic amendments aimed at just those issues.
Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey's amendment to the Keystone bill would have prohibited oil shipped through the pipeline from being exported. It was killed by a 57 to 42 vote. Minnesota Sen. Al Franken's amendment would have required that the pipeline be built with American steel. It was killed by a 53 to 46 vote.
Seriously. "It's a jobs bill! It's a jobs bill!" "Okay, let's require that it be made with American materials, creating more jobs." "Hell, no."you know it's evident that they don't care that we know they've been lying about keystone primarily because they keep doing it and i think they are power crazed but fighting the reality that both houses aren't as strong as the veto pen in the proper hands nothing but all they wanted that was squashed meant to bypass Americans and go straight to big business richie's if there were an ounce of integrity they would at least try to be more discrete instead they are letting it all out and don't care who's looking.
we thought 56 attem,pts to kill ObamaCares was crazy but telling us which end to kiss and going about te work of the rich while telling us it's all about us, well it is all about denying us and granting them. notice none of their vague conversation mentions taxing the rich they try and sell it by saying no one should be taxed then set it up so it comes and bites us, 2016 don't repeat history pay attention to it.
i'm curious just whose steel and materials will they use and how many jobs will be taken by other than citizens we know the 35 will have to be citizens easy to keep an eye on them but their prediction first was 20,000 now they have doubled to 41,000 construction jobs temporary not so easy to keep track and remember theless they spend the more they pocket.
