Wasting money is something that the Government has perfected over the years, especially during the Obama Administration who wasted close to $43 MILLION dollars during 2011 building a simple gas station in the country of Afghanistan that should have had a price tag of $500,000.
Thanks to a program to revitalize the Afghani economy called the Downstream Gas Utilization project the Afghan people were the recipients of what could be the most expensive gas station in the world.
Has government waste of tax payer money continued since then? Click on next page to find out more.
Sure
Something stinks !!
How stupid are going to get?????????????????
HEY THEY SELL BBQ!!!
Just think how much good that money could have done here in America……..That idiot in our white house has got to go.
I agree we should be investing in the US. Without a doubt we have squander taxpayer dollars on an Iraq war that was based on lies, amongst other wastes of money.
The problems with the pipeline are multiple:
1) The oil is destined to be exported, not help the US oil market or prices.
2) Transporting the oil to Texas will actually INCREASE the cost of gas in the northern US states as it depletes the supply line there.
3) The pipeline will run over the largest aquifer in the Northwest. A major pipeline breach could decimate water supplies in that region
4) The company that wants to build it actually reported the number of jobs it creates is not what many purport it to be. These pipelines are automated for the most part, so it will end up with a few thousand jobs (<5000 total) and they won't be high paying. Is that worth the risk to US drinking water supplies?
Again, I am all for investing in the US. But let's make it smart investments. I also vote for removal of the oil industry "welfare" subsidy.......They don't pay that back like the auto industry did with their "loans" that were inaccurately called "bailouts".
Yes, you don’t know what to believe. it’s just like how bad fracking is…. it’s been going on for so many years and now somebody’s making money now they want to dip into it and now its horrible ….horrible for our country. As far as the automotive bailout Ford didn’t take the money. The other companies shouldn’t have been bailed out either… they would have learn how to cut costs which would have made the Liberals happy, A rich company owner would be brought to their knees. Building that pipeline is not just the jobs to build it. it is the vendors that take part throughout the building of it also so there is more than 5,000 jobs.
I think you mean Oasswipe built a 43 million gas station.
blame it on Ovomit its his watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arming the enemy – government traitors
