The Keystone pipeline will create just 35 permanent jobs. Don't believe the liesWe cannot pollute our way to prosperity. If President Trump doesnt own up to that, he will face a backlash
Raúl M Grijalva Wednesday 25 January 2017 11.11 EST
Not only will these projects not create long-lasting jobs as CNBC, not exactly an anti-corporate mouthpiece, has noted: Pipelines do not require much labor to operate in the long term they will further delay the inevitable transition to clean, renewable energy our economy needs and the American people demand.
Beyond risking our energy economy on what we now call alternative facts, these pipelines pose specific risks to Indian Country and President Trump ignores those risks at his own political peril.

President Obama saves this country from the Great Recession brought on by Bush and the republicans, saves the auto industry when the republicans all said let it die and created something like 1.6 million jobs?
And he was hung out to dry by the deplorables in favor of a loud mouth con man making 35 jobs a whack and destroying the environment as an extra added bonus!
Just damn!
