GOP Hardon for ANWR again rears it's ugly head

[ItalianStereotype]

Harriet Miers? no economic impact on the future of our country.

Social Security? a bit of a grey area

LIV? no foreseeable economic impact on the future of our country

manned Mars mission? no foreseeable economic impact on the future of our country.

Dubai Ports deal? no real economic impact on the future of our country.

but ANWR? your state alone stands to gain about 20,000 jobs from the development, max. besides, I'd like to think that our leaders aren't so short-sighted to pass up a long exploitable domestic resource for a comparatively small one time gain.
