| Simple Chart Reveals Troubling Relationship Between Champ's Policies And Particular US Jobs |
| 2016-02-24 |
| [Daily Caller] The mining and coal industries lost tens of thousands of jobs last year alone according to federal data, mostly due to federal regulations and low-priced natural gas. Mark Perry, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, aggregated data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics into a chart. The chart provides no racial or political demographics, but I suspect we could hazard a guess. |

| #5 OH ! just remembered, It was in a small country store with an old timer called crackers working there also. He was working the register and he was ninety some. He was called crackers because as a child he couldn't afford candy so he got crackers out of the cracker barrel, hence the nickname crackers. Boyd's country store. Still there I think. Between Fredrick and 495 beltway. |

| #3 But, but, but you don't understand. Inexpensive coal means Warren Buffet's oil trains don't run on time and our wind and solar energy plans are dashed. The market will adapt! Investors will move from dirty coal to wind and solar, you'll see. Please think Obamamacro. |

| #2 WV and Kentucky are especially hard hit. Government tax revenue is gone. Well over 38 million for WV. alone. Small towns are being abandoned. Bankrupts galore among coal mining operations and all support industries. So what does government do, raise taxes. A worker in the mine could take home $2000. after taxes. Now what is his take home on a low wage part time job. Women and children will get government aid. Men will just have to move along. Prime target for China to come in and buy up everything cheap. Perhaps our own garden variety slickers. |

| #1 Why a US President has his hands in so many things, Everything, means he does not care about his true job. This business is for the Legislature, not a king. If this continues to ebb toward executive power, it must be capped in it's boundary of Leg power. This executive is not only out of control, but stupid, destructive and un-needed. |
