That is not true at all. You must be another two-time Obama voter living it his alternate reality.

Obviously, there is a finite amount of minable and merchantable coal in any area, so you could have predicted the death of the mining industry more than a century ago, Einstein. Obama promised to make coal mining prohibitively expensive and he has worked hard to make good on that promise.

Your lack of compassion for your neighbors who have lost their jobs because of the worst president in the history of this nation would make Obama proud. If you lost a mining job, as you supported Obama, then you are one of the few coal miners who deserved their fate. I have a feeling that are one of those artists who draw government checks to avoid flipping burgers for a living.

Strikes 1, 2 and 3, Hoot. Keep swinging, though. Never mined any coal but all my ancestors did. I knew better.

My neighbors had the same freedom of choice that I did. They chose poorly. Life happens.
