I guess your "continue to pollute" and "greenhouse gasses" were reasons FOR the pipeline then, it is hard to know with you conservatives, since conservative does not really mean to conserve.
And instead of jumping on Newt's latest zinger, get some background first.
Food stamp enrollment has been rising for more than a decade. President Bush launched a recruitment campaign, which pushed average participation up by 63% during his eight years in office.
And nObama has done what to put people to work? His administration has spent TRILLIONS of borrowed dollars, and yet, he will be remembered for the highest sustained unemployment rates(more folks on food stamps), the highest sustained gasoline prices, and the worst U.S. economy in history.....and his answer?
Stop a pipeline that will help the U.S. economy, help an ally(Canada), put Americans to work(perhaps 100,000 jobs all told), increase our reliance on foreign oil(buying from enemies), and thereby maintaining/increasing millions of Americans on foodstamps.
You can dislike Newt if you like, but facts are facts.
The nObama administration, with it's misguided policies, have in fact kept unemployment above 8%(not below 8% as promised), and he has become the "food stamp president".
Btw, speaking of broken promises....is Gitmo closed yet? The stepped up assassinations have been going well. Everybody has to be good at SOMETHING. nObama has found his niche. He should empty Gitmo and just do his thing.
I will give credit where credit is due, even if his drone killing happens with the left over Bush era military.
