Why EPA Plan Should Concern Fixed-Income Americans the Most
Nancy Gravatt, Sr. VP of Communications for the American Mining Association, explains why the President’s new agreement with the Chinese to cut carbon emissions will not fulfill its stated mission, and why the EPA’s new regulations will hit hardest on the pocketbooks of fixed-income Americans.
The host of the Jacki Daily show has had an impressive career in energy, law, and politics.
Most recently, Jacki served as General Counsel to an engineering firm specializing in energy, national security and environmental cleanup. Previously, she served many years as legal counsel on Capitol Hill to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and the former Ranking Member of the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, advising on the oversight of federal agencies. Prior to her career in Washington, she worked as a corporate litigator, and as an Assistant Vice President for a national bank.
She entered public life at a young age, as a finalist in the Miss Teen of America pageant. She also served as the Public Relations Director for a statewide political organization.
Jacki studied Economics, Spanish, and World History at Marshall University (Society of Yeager Scholars), Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain. She is an alumna of the Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as the President of the law school’s Federalist Society chapter.
Jacki has an extensive network in her six overstuffed rolodexes from which the show draws its guests—including industry leaders representing all parts of the energy sector (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind), and government officials, journalists, and political insiders. Often, Jacki will know the day’s most-wanted guest and be able to secure the guest with a personal call.
Jacki is from the Ohio River Valley, where the shale runs deep. She descends from a long line of energy workers, including roughnecks, railroaders, coal miners, and nuclear energy specialists.
Perhaps someday the phrase “fixed income” will go away. I’m guessing she means people who are living on some form of retirement. I live on a fixed income too: I agree to work at an agreed upon rate, a “fixed income”. Sometimes when I hear people complain about prices going up and then stating how they are on a “fixed income”, like they’re something special and price increases don’t bother anyone else, I can become a bit of a smart ass and mention how I’m on a “fixed income” too.
Also, back when I was a smoker, and before I started rolling my own, other smokers would sometimes ask “got an extra cigarette?” To which I would look at the pack of smokes and reply “Nope. There’s only 20 in there.”
Invest in longjohns, fireplace builders, and candlemakers.
I am now on fixed income but used to on commission and if I wanted to make more money I just worked longer and smarter.
I am still a smoker; wait until they ask you to roll one for them.
I slobber a lot on theirs.

When I was in the Navy, we had this one guy who was always bumming cigarettes. So I started carrying a pack of my real smokes tucked into a sock and in my jumper pocket, a pack of Chesterfields. After being offered Chesterfields a few times, the guy stopped bumming from me.
In this Obamanation, everyone is on a fixed income, except for those on a declining income.
that’s a great point, I was making more money in 1998 than I am now!
seriously!
