Why did they need 60 on Keystone, was someone filibustering?

This is a crock of crap. It’s all lies, used to throttle American capitalism by over-taxation and excessive regulation in the name of environmentalism. Meanwhile, global polluters like Mexico, China, India and Russia crank out pollution on an ever-increasing basis. The leftist government ignores this and focuses on what will harm American business most. It’s all about killing American capitalism for the marxist freaks in out government. And those freaks will run away with lined pockets, which is what they wanted from the beginning. It’s what we got for not paying attention...

With the exception of Judicial nominees that requires only a simply majority (51)

Democrats argue it would raise $2 trillion,

...Which would remove $2T from the economy. Great idea!

California will be an excellent test case for this concept as their (already in effect) state cap & tax continues to take effect in stages.

I’ve read that the gasoline price will jump significantly.

Everything “except” JN requires 60 because of the filibuster.
