You've got to, if you don't you are unilaterally disarming yourself against one of the fastest and most potent ways of gaining a leg up against your competition.

It's not about Pegula's unwillingness to spend on Cordy to keep him, it's a matter of who is on the roster, their availability to possibly fill the void and keeping the rest of the team intact due to salary cap considerations. No way we can keep everyone that is currently on the roster considering we have to re-sign Dareus, Gilmore and Bradham. Three of the four will be with us for the long-term, not all four. Other than logic.

With the word out that Schumer may not be backing the deal and then THIS Maybe the chances of it becoming veto proof might not be as bad as I had thought. Of course, it's a bad deal on so many levels, the question is will the D's side with Obama out of loyalty or will they just say "Hey B.O, we like you and all but we are still planning on staying while you are out on the golf course somewhere in Hawaii!"

I haven't read up. if there are any spots available I'd be interested

Keep in mind, that you are attempting to rationalize with someone who is unable to differentiate between creating an equivalence to drawing a parallel. Good luck

Generally speaking when governments get involved with business dealings, those businesses tend to languish relative to private owned corporations. That's just common knowledge and anyone who says or implies anything to the contrary is a numbskull.

I'm sure they would, and just like you I'm sure they fail to realize that socialism is a lot easier to achieve when you have the population of an average sized state of the U.S and the oil revenues of a top tier oil producer to pay for it.

There is little difference between the modern day progressive and a socialist.

It's simple. It's all a matter of economic viability. If it's viable - it will flourish - if not it won't. That's why most of the money being spent on alternative energy sources should not be on the subsidization of projects that aren't viable but much more so on the R & D. You'll get a much better bang for your buck.

I've already explained this to you, it helps that they have population of only 7 million with the oil revenues to pay for it all. Try again Why show you? You won't even read the damn links

It would lead to less innovation, efficiency and jobs. Actually, Joe the working class American wants to remain employed. Under Bernie, it's no longer Joe the working class American, but more like Konstantinos the unemployed guy who gets to retire at the age of 59.

That's probably why the Canadians added new legislation helping ensure something like that wouldn't happen.

He just provided you the links, and you don't want to read them.

And he layeth the smacketh down.

Now since I'm about to severely smack you down with facts, will you then say "Sorry, I was wrong and you were right"?

No they don't. Try again

Oh...good thinking. Because we all know that the price of oil will stay at these levels or lower for the rest of our lives. There is no talking to T greggy about this subject, because he refuses to acknowledge that the oil will provide a large short-term economic stimulus for the economy, FUNDED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR. He refuses to acknowledge that many local and state economies will get very sizable tax windfalls for the lifetime of the pipeline. He refuses to acknowledge that most of the gasoline will be sent to our refineries , (mostly owned by US companies and not US/Saudi joint ventures...not that it matters anyway, considering that the jobs are American and taxes collected are mostly U.S based as well, so it's a total non sequitur) Refuses to acknowledge that purchasing oil from Canada is better for us and our allies than purchasing oil from Nigeria, Venezuela and Mexico. Refuses to acknowledge that the world, specially the oil producing regions of the world are very economically and politically unstable, and that securing oil from a secure ally is a much better option than relying on unstable countries that aren't our friends. You have gone down hill over the past few days man.

Of course there are, there is a short-term economic stimulus and longer term tax royalty windfall. The president was all for an economic stimulus funded by tax payers, he should be really happy about one funded by the private sector. In regards to the safety issues, even the president's own environmental study from the state department shows that there are negligible risks. Also, many of the refineries that are here in the U.S are set up to refine heavy crude oil, which that is exactly what the oil from Canada would be. Plus there are constant shortages from some of the independent refineries up in the midwest, that would remedy that problem. Meaning that regionally, specially in the midwest there would be more price stability when it comes to gasoline prices. The crude oil that would be brought from Canada would stay here in the U.S and refined. Which means that the refineries would be purchasing oil from an ally, Canada. In turn, that means we would be purchasing less oil from Mexico, Nigeria and Venezuela. That's a positive. Also, most independent analysts believe that there would be an overall reduction in the price of gasoline, nothing huge but a drop none the less. Not to mention, who knows what the future will bring us. Much better to secure oil coming from our northern neighbors when potentially oil from other countries could be cut off due to a number of reasons. What makes it even worse is that not only would we lose out on that stable flow of oil from one of our strongest allies, but China would then have that oil. I worked as an oil trader for a number of years, I can tell you that commodities are very cyclical. We recently went through perceived oil shortages in the oil markets that helped push prices higher. The more oil we can secure from reliable partners, the more price stability we will see. There is no disputing that the economic benefits are a net gain for the country.

Nixing the keystone pipeline is a nod to the Enviro nuts. Makes no sense on so many levels to not go ahead with it.

My father always looked at the 40's and 50's as the time he viewed the U.S at it's best.

Of course he doesn't, he's a dipshit.

I understand that the concept of parallelization is above your pay grade, which is why simply calling you a (*^*&%^$^#works better.

The only thing you own, is the (*^*&%^$^#label. It's called drawing parallels, dipshit

I guess this proves one thing. That you are a dipshit.
