Shameful, subsidizing an Earth-killing pipeline while the rest of our infrastructure rots and turns into a worldwide joke. This is what happens when the American public is kept stupid and uneducated, so they can continue voting for the same c**ts who are bought and paid for by entrenched industries. Voting with a stupid smile on their faces that says "more abuse, pretty please?", I may add.

Such behavior transcends party lines. Dollars in the multi miliions (with the legal blessing of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling) NOW allows untrammeled greed and self interest of corporate interest
to put their desires ahead of those of the public at large, mostly under educated and unable to think for themselves, and who are fed an endless barrage of misleading and deceptive television and campaign advertising garbage and lies, over and over and over.
And most of the others, that could vote, are so utterly self absorbed and care about absolutely NOTHING except themselves, as can be seen anywhere, 24/7, utterly oblivious to anything and everything, totally busy with their eyes glued to the screens of their mobile phones.
