Republicans like to point to Keystone XL as one of their signature jobs bills “It’s a jobs bill! It’s a jobs bill!” But Tuesday afternoon Sen. Ed Markey’s amendment to prohibit oil shipped through the pipeline from being exported was killed by a 57 to 42 vote. Sen. Al Franken’s amendment that the pipeline be built with American steel was killed by a 53 to 46 vote.
Seriously. “It’s a jobs bill! It’s a jobs bill!” 
Just the Sin City Saint THINKING OUT LOUD!
