re: Fill me in on the Keystone XL Pipeline

It's a high-priority issue because the Saudis aren't going to keep pumping freebie oil forever. When they raise the prices back up, we'll need to be right back at working toward energy independence. The writer of the MSN article is very near-sighted.

Repealing the ACA is a much higher issue, but the GOP will probably puss out and just make tweaks. Our only real hope on that is the SCOTUS in the Spring.

Another big priority is fixing the tax code. At the very least it needs to be simplified down to just 4 levels of income but the ideal (to me, at least) would be a flat tax and Congress has to learn to live within its means.
