The Detroit Bailout Has Produced 400 Times More Permanent Jobs Than Keystone Pipeline Will

Alan: Obama's bailout of Detroit added 14,000 permanent jobs on top of tens of thousands of jobs saved by not going "belly up." 

According to the following Forbes article, the Keystone pipeline will result in only thirty five (35) permanent jobs and perhaps 5 thousand short-lived construction jobs. http://www.forbes.com/sites/energysource/2013/05/10/pipe-dreams-how-many-jobs-will-be-created-by-keystone-xl/

The central attraction of Libertarianism is the purity of its principles.

But they are too pure. Too true to be good. And fundamentally unworkable.

At the heart of libertarianism is an essential selfishness that aspires to calm one's own demons at the expense of everything else.

It is profoundly satisfying -- and profoundly egotistical -- to support the demise of Detroit because "good government" doen't bail anyone out.
