A lot has been made of Hillary Clinton gaffes. She sure makes them. They make me cringe. Otherwise, she has some realistic policy proposals on the table that detail her plans in how to deal with the shifting lives of coal immunities and the people that dig for that coal. These plans deserve to be talked about as much as any gaffe made that might happen. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2015/11/12/clinton-plan-to-revitalize-coal-communities/ |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Yeah... I know... She made poorly worded statement. I said that she does that. Read her proposals and plans boy.. Learn something for once. Here are two points from the link 1. Ensure health and retirement security. Weak global coal demand and a sharp drop in global coal prices have pushed a number of mining companies into bankruptcy. Clinton has fought, and will continue to fight, against attempts by these companies to use bankruptcy proceedings to shirk the healthcare and pension commitments they’ve made to their retirees, many of whom suffer from black lung disease and other job-related illnesses. As part of this promise, Clinton will put in place a federal backstop that ensures retirees get the benefits they have earned and deserve, building on the bipartisan leadership of Senators Manchin, Capito, Casey and Brown, and will expand these protections to any power plant or transportation company retiree who loses his or her benefits due to a coal market-related bankruptcy. 2. Reform the black lung benefit program. Clinton supports sweeping reforms to the federal black lung benefit program to prevent coal company-funded doctors and lawyers from withholding evidence or willfully misdiagnosing patients in order to deny medical care to sick miners. She will empower those who have been wrongfully denied benefits to reopen their cases, help miners secure legal representation, and adjust black lung benefits to reflect cost of living changes.

She's going to be helping the inner cities next, right? I'll bet we'd have seen this same plan from Obama in 2008. Are you going to be linking to Trump's website and assuming that's some sort of future reality? Her words tell you what her plan is, more of Obie's strategy - use govt regulations to continue to lower market share of coal and let them eat solar panels. |

"She's going to be helping the inner cities next, right?" I'm sure she has a plan for that too. She has some pretty wide ranging plans to implement after the election. This little piece of her grander plan is about handling the problems that coal miners are having today, and what they might expect tomorrow. As far as me posting Trumps plans, I'll leave that to you Jake. If you want to post up Trumps plans, I say go for it buddy! Start a thread. Edited by CautionaryTales, May 10 2016, 07:30 AM.

Coal miners hate her... for good reason... and a few feel-good do-nothing paragraphs aren't going to change that |

Coal companies should pay for environmental cleanup, royalties on coal mined from federal land, and cover healthcare and climate costs. $100 a tonne is a reasonable estimate of damages from CO2. Stop privatised profit with socialised costs and let the market sort it out. The war on coal jobs already happened and it was won by coal companies and their investors under Reagan, Bush1 and Clinton.

No not at all. I 'm just pointing out that you have been caught in so many lies on this site that one wonders why anyone would ever believe what you post. |
