Lol so you dojust repeat Tucker Carlson! So predictable! I see you know nothing about the Keystone pipeline! Fun fact Keystone pipeline is a functioning pipeline that is working right now.

What you are talking about is an extension of the pipeline which transports Canadian oil to be refined in the gulf and then exported to other countries. And experts have found that Keystone XL pipeline would have a negligible affect on the US economy.

In summary, no blocking the Keystone pipeline did not raise gas prices.

This right here. Also don’t forget the fact that the jobs “lost” were not long term jobs in the first place. Or the fact that the jobs “lost” aren’t even a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers of some of the layoffs that major corporations do every year without help from the government.

You realize that 1) that pipeline was less than 10% complete and still wouldn't be completed today? 2) the pipeline was a pass through with the contents already pressed to China etc al.
