As I mentioned above, deliberate sabotage of below-ground assets is almost unheard of in North America. Moreover, think about what you just suggested for a second: eco-terrorists strike back at an oil company... by causing a significant ecological disaster that TransCanada's insurance will pay for. Because that makes sense.


I don't think you understand how zealotry works and the general notion of the ends justifying the means. Terrorists can justify short-time harm under the auspice that it will stop long-term harm, thus making it alright.

Over the last 75 years, the debt-to-GDP ratio decreased under every single Democrat president except for Roosevelt and Obama, who have the excuses of having to pay for WW2 and the 2009 financial crisis respectively. By contrast, the last Republican president to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio over their term was Nixon. Bush Jr. was responsible for the single largest jump in debt-to-GDP ratio of any president since WW2.


It's fun to look at one metric and boil down all of politics to suggest it's the only metric that matters, isn't it? It allows you to overlook overlook all the other direct and indirect harms to the American people.
