I say build it, but I believe the "jobs" argument is more political than anything else, in the long run.

I have a real problem with private industry confiscating men's private land to build this pipeline. A pipeline that will not benefit America and will line the pockets tax free of the international business. \
But then it's not as if anyone really owns the property they buy anyway.... the government owns it all.
