Repubs in Congress are pushing the XL Keystone Pipeline as a "boost for our energy."  No, that is not what it is.  XL is a pet project of the Koch brothers (and other oil dealers) that will create only c.1500 temporary jobs when being built.  And the oil is going to Texas in order to be shipped overseas. No energy boost, no good jobs, and a large profit to the oil folks.  Sure looks like Mitch and John are doing their jobs.  Just not for the rest of us.
