President Obama stated, "Building infrastructure for the USA would provide a million jobs for the country."
The Republicans state, "Keystone XL Pipeline would make a few thousand construction jobs initially and about 50 jobs permanently, maybe."
What is the difference?
Spending. President Obama wants Congress to authorize spending to improve the country's infrastructure while Congress washes their hands of it and instead wants TransCanada and their cronies to build a pipeline.
Even if the KXL creates 5000 jobs temporarily that means the Republicans are turning their back on the American people, the investment for a better infrastructure so they can cut taxes and pad the pockets of cronies without spending a dime of tax dollars.
For every one job President Obama's plan would create, the Republicans create .005 jobs. Who is responsible for the deteriorating USA infrastructure and lack of good paying jobs in the construction sector? Grover Norquist and his pledge.
The Congress are spineless to their cronies and dangerous in protecting the lives of Americans from deteriorating infrastructure.

MINNEAPOLIS — Flying over Minneapolis’ (click here) collapsed highway bridge, President Bush got a bird’s-eye view Saturday of the concrete slabs and twisted steel that once spanned the Mississippi River.
The president’s Marine One helicopter circled the site several times during a 10-minute tour, allowing him to gaze down upon the muddy waters where some bodies are still trapped. He saw pieces of the highway littered with vehicles, including a school bus hugging a guard rail. Rescue boats below helped in the search for victims.
Later, Bush put on an orange and red hard hat and walked around the bridge site. Yards from the school bus, he stood with Gary Babineau, a construction worker who helped rescue children after the collapse.
Bush also planned to receive briefings on recovery efforts and meet with families and some of the victims....
Welcome back to life with Republican majorities.
"Have a careful Christmas."
