With unemployment benefits and EBT they could be sitting back with their feet in the air, smoking pot for years...
Yet they will re-elect John Chickenlooper
This is just a small part of the Great Obama Recovery. No doubt.
Oh .. .. .. .. never mind.
This is perfectly in line with Obama’s objectives.
Daddy, won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
Well I’m sorry, my son, but we don’t got no money
Mr. Peabody’s coal train has shut down today.
I believe, there are four communities, gettin’ shafted. That’s no biggie, since most of you, supposed “concerned,” are urbanite pretenders- that could not care less, about Our Country.
Weren’t companies warned not to say they were laying ppl off because of ocare? No one is talking about that anymore.
More victims of Obama’s “War on Coal”, proving the paucity of his understanding of anything to do with the energy industry or economics in general. It also proves the media are the real dunces for believing and touting this guy as a super-smart savior.
oBamas fault
This is gonna hurt.

Coal mining
“A substantial portion of Paonia’s residents are employed in one of several coal mines located near Somerset a few miles from the town. The valley’s principal coal mines are Oxbow Mining’s Elk creek mine,[6] Arch Coal’s West Elk Mine,[7] and a mine run by Bowie Resources.[8] Bucyrus International, a supplier of underground coal mining equipment, operates a small warehouse in Paonia for support of the underground longwall systems that are operating in the North Fork valley. Union Pacific provides service to the Bowie #2 Mine, loading-up 100 car trains in two hours.[9]”
With a population of 1500, this means 10% of the town are out of work. That’s crippling to an entire community.
Just the beginning of a long series of such layoffs as Obamas War on Coal continues.
