    Once the transient contractors build the pipeline, what jobs will be left, to offset the inevitable spills? How will the flowing oil to be taxed pay for monitoring and cleanups? What, if any, bond or escrow funds will be available to pay? Why can't the Canadians just refined it where they extract it, then ship the stuff from their own ports, which will become more numerous as the Arctic ice melts and frees up more Northwest passages?

    If they go ahead with the pipeline, it will be a CEO's dream. Boehner knows how to keep CEO's happy. He knows what's good for the CEO's is good for America.

    But CEO's don't give a damn about America.

    There are miles and miles of pipelines in the U.S. This is an issue because Obama is president and he wants to make a fuss to give his base something to cheer about. With Obama, everything's politically driven and a dog whistle.

    The GOP gets a lot of money from Big Oil. Big Oil gets a lot of tax breaks and subsidies from American taxpayers. Makes you wonder if there's a connection.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie thanks Elaine Konopka after she gave him a fleece jacket during a town hall gathering in Sayreville, N.J., Thursday, May 16, 2013, where he announced that some 350 homeowners in the central New Jersey towns of Sayreville and South River whose properties have flooded repeatedly will be eligible to sell their homes in the first phase of a new federally funded buyback program. Christie returned to the community of Sayreville on Thursday afternoon, which was heavily flooded during Superstorm Sandy, to announce the $300 million buyback. The money will be enough to buy back nearly 1,000 homes in targeted communities along the Raritan River, Passaic River basin and the Jersey Shore. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
