ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Actually, the point of the XL is to get the Canadian oil to the Gulf Coast. Canadian oil isn't getting there in mass quantity at this time, so this is not the same as just "installing more mailboxes." In my area, newspapers deliverypeople are not allowed to put the paper in the mailbox. We had to have a separate structure for the newspaper. Thus, the XL is more like adding mailboxes for other things. I do have to give props to FlackCheck.org for that analogy, misleading as it is. What does getting more Canadian oil to the Gulf Coast get us? Lower gas prices? That has been thoroughly debunked (in fact it would raise midwest gas prices to the price paid on the coasts) More jobs? About 1000 Temp jobs, that will be mostly filled with people who are employed in contract work anyway. It gets us another free giveaway to the oil companies at taxpayer expense.
