What we need is a pipeline from China sending our jobs back.

So, let’s talk about this Canadian Pipeline thing. What would it provide for we Americans other than an environmental scar down the heartland of Middle America? Speaker Boehner says it’s needed and is shovel-ready. Jobs a plenty. Work for Americans.

Let us first ask what kind of jobs? Will they be long term jobs and provides benefits? Health benefits? Livable wages? Long-term employment? Retirement benefits? Education benefits?

One could easily surmise that the answer is no. Employment would be short term. Only a quick fix for employment and then more unemployment. Along with no benefits. Health or otherwise.

What benefit would we Americans receive for this short-term job creator? Cheaper oil? Cheaper gas? Plentiful supply? Two dollar a gallon gasoline?

Once again, the answer would be no. No fool is going to build a billion dollar pipeline and sell oil and gasoline at a friendly neighbor discount. Without any doubt, the oil will be placed immediately on the global market and most likely shipped off to our Pacific neighbors to the far west. Sometimes called the Far East. Our neighbors otherwise known as China and India.

So do we want America to act as conduit for Canadian crude oil just to be processed and sent abroad? Once again the answer is no.

The bottom line is the major benefit is to the big oil and pipeline owners and it’s shareholders. All we get to do is look at it. An environmental eye sore. Not to mention a potential land oil spill. Creating an enormous blight on the Plaines and prairie of Middle America the Beautiful.

It would be like building a multi-story high-rise hotel on the Colorado River in the middle of the Grand Canyon. Just to provide jobs. We don’t need just jobs. American workers want longevity. Americans want careers. Americans want sustainable living and retirement. Not a pipeline. Ugly freaking eye sore.

The Canadians can send it to Vancouver. They can build it right down the middle of their tulip beds. Pipeline? No thank you!

Who are those guys and what do they want anyway?

What do Republicans want? Are there not any proactive programs they wish to present to America? What positive suggestions can they offer to bring the USA back to prosperity?

I know we have heard all about the “Shovel Ready” projects Congress has been railing about. However those jobs are temporary and have no meaningful benefits. No health care, education, and retirement benefits. America wants jobs that have longevity. Americans want careers not part-time/temp jobs that only benefit shareholders. Americans want jobs that benefit the greater good of all American.

Now, Congress wants to get rid of the “Fed.” Along with a dozen or so agencies. Agencies like the Department of Energy, Federal Housing Authority, Environmental Protection Agency, Consumer Protection Bureau, and other agencies that benefit and protect all Americans.

The only discernable goal the Republicans want is to get rid of Obama and rid the whole country of Democrats and Liberals. Is this a worthy goal for America? Will this benefit us creating a one party system? Well, I guess it worked for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Is this what we want? This is certainly what we will get if we continue to support a do nothing congress that’s only interest is to say No to every progressive proposal. No compromise. No give and take. No sharing of ideas. No measurable progress. Just sit on it.

Nonetheless, Republicans are not offering any significant plans to help America dig its way out of this current economic mire. Just blame the President and criticize any suggestion that isn’t of their own making. No thought on how to revive the economy. No suggestions on how to extend health benefit to all Americans. No thoughts on how to clean up the air and water environment. No ideas on how to better educate our children. No thoughts on how to maintain peace in the troubled spots of the world. No thoughts and no reasonable workable ideas at all. What do Republicans want anyway?
