More First Class Rants about environment and Jobs

Like sweet smelling chocolates dangling from a stick held close to our
noses, "Jobs" swing closer and closer to our eager lips, causing us,
like Pavlov's dogs, to drool with wild anticipation. "High Paying
jobs!" shout the X P Pipeline advocates. "2,500 good jobs", is one
such estimate. "This will lower our energy costs", comes another cry.
All of these claims have been proven false, pie in the sky Pipe
Dreams. But you'd never know it, to listen to the Corporate Media.
Roger is absolutely correct when he reminds us that the word, Jobs is
a code word for Profits.
If jobs were truly the concern of the Corporate Empire and their well
paid mouthpieces, they would be clamoring for money to employ
thousands of workers to tackle our failing infrastructure. They might
even show a touch of that Heart President Obama is claimed to have,
and demand money to build new schools, and staff them with enough
teachers to allow children to be "taught" rather than to be herded and
monitored. They might even care enough about our wounded and maimed
veterans and our elder population, to insist on funding thousands of
new jobs for field workers and decent care facilities and housing.
But instead, they chant "build the pipeline!".
Do Americans really want to put huge profits in the already bulging
pockets of the Ruling Class?
