I thought the standard answer was to do a continuing resolution and kick the can down the road six months or more.

mkohly Veteran Author Chicago Posts:266 Points:24,705 Joined:Sep 2009	Message Posted: Jan 24, 2013 2:24:42 PM Ignore mkohly Report Abuse The only purpose for this pipeline is to make it more cost effective to EXPORT oil from North America, therefor allowing the oil companies to sell to the highest bidder. If it goes thru, gas prices will go UP in the US, especially in the Midwest. Without the pipeline, export costs are prohibitive, so it gets sold locally, helping to keep prices down.
