Empty rhetoric. Her plan will cost thousands of jobs and increase the welfare rolls. But hey, the Clintons will still have their millions, so it really isn't a problem is it?

Exactly...what is she going to do, give those coal miners "high tech" jobs at some alternative energy facility?

People...it's ALL empty talk and rhetoric!!! BOTH sides. The Ds and the Rs. Trump can't "do anything" if everyone in government is against him. He won't get elected unless TPTB want him elected. That's the beauty of "our system", only the approved CAN be elected. We WON'T get a Hitler here. The people don't matter, the "system" is what matters. The corrupt, crony, system.

The powerful have always been powerful and they will always BE powerful.

Wealth envy is not healthy. The other side use to tell me that all the time.

Yes, unfortunately people need to make the decision to work in a coal mine, learn a new job or go on welfare. I know what I would do. They say the average person changes careers 7 times. Although I find that hard to believe.

Why don't you think coal miners will look for other work, move to seek employment elsewhere or learn new skills? Don't you trust them? How many times have you changed careers?

NOW the average person changes career 7 times. It used to be 1...now it's 7...do you think it's a good thing for people to lose the stability they once had? What exactly IS a "career"? A waiter, bartender, landscaper, where is the line drawn these days? I did many jobs when I was young, I didn't consider them a career, are they now?

What happens in the 4 years (at least, if they're miners, my guess is they didn't have many personal options) it takes then to become "technical"? I'm assuming a degree is required? Do we pay for their family living expenses too?

I think the government should stay out of things unless absolutely necessary.

Who is "him".

What ethical person praises corruption? Obama squawked and a felon walked Hillary can now join her celebration along side OJ and Casey Anthony.

This was a country adjudicated by the rule of law now it is rule by edict. Welcome to the USSR of these United States

Personal Best Regards:

Oh, shut up Don. We're sick of hearing from you.

If she is elected, she won't last two years. Remember that I said that.

If we could back to screen names I would.

I believe that what you are doing is adding the more expanded version which she stated a few days after she initially said that she was going to be putting a lot of coal-miners out of business et al.
Once the rock throwing started she found a venue to " expand " on her original statement by trying to claim that she could put them all back to work with " clean energy jobs ".
A giant lie but hey -- what difference does it make anyway ! NONE . Because her last name is CLINTON !

So the election is in the bag for your candidate . So why don`t you take a break from posting on this site . Why waste the energy ?

Since the outcome of the election is inevitable and you are confident that it is so then the only reason for you to continue posting on this site is to incite conflict and harass others .

IE some sort of sick form of entertainment .

"CARELESS AND RECKLESS"

I think they describe trump to the T.

If its the taxpayers plane why don't you take it on your next vacation?

Because it is the taxpayer's (the collective group of taxpayers, the 52% that pay taxes), plane. The OP never said that it was HIS plane.

Typical repub thinking, let the electric companies pollute the air so they can make millions while the population suffers. Would you see any of the fat cats living next to one of these plants? Just like global warming the repubs have their head in the sand.

You and your ilk will be the first to bitch when your electric bills triple. What about the poor who can't afford the luxury of higher electric bills? Who pays their bills?

Maybe you could put some repub names out like ollie north, richard nixson spiro agnew ect.

I guess you do not hear crickets, according to the post with the whole story, as usual the repub is outed.

nope it wasn't added later---it was part of the same speech--
In context: Hillary Clinton’s comments about coal jobs | PolitiFact


So what did Clinton say about putting coal miners out of work? We decided to look at the full context.

She made the comment during a March 13 CNN Town Hall. Journalist Roland Martin asked, in effect, why should poor white people vote for her.

In her response, Clinton did say that she would be putting coal companies out of business, as a result of moving toward renewable energy sources. But she followed that by saying she wanted to create new economic opportunities for current coal workers, possibly spurred by clean energy development.

Here are her full remarks, with the most relevant parts in bold:

Look, we have serious economic problems in many parts of our country. And Roland is absolutely right. Instead of dividing people the way Donald Trump does, let's reunite around policies that will bring jobs and opportunities to all these underserved poor communities.

So for example, I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country. Because we're going to ........

Sounds like your bullying the posters, not nice. LOL

I guess the op is not a taxpayer.

You said the same thing about OBAMA, lets see what was bush 43 unemployment rate.

"When Obama assumed office, the unemployment rate was still rising sharply. It topped out at 10 percent in October 2009, hovering just below that level for the next year, before beginning a steady decline at the end of 2010 that has persisted into early-2016 and breaking through the 5 percent mark at the beginning of 2016."

Far from over. LOL

So your answer is pollute the air, you don't think much of your children or grandchildren, if you have any.

If you are SO concerned about air pollution, then stop driving your car and operating your electric golf cart - which probably receives its electrical charge indirectly from a coal-fired electric plant.

It doesn't seem to bother the Obamas or Hollywood celebrities who fly their planes all around the world, so I guess I can endure the air pollution if those left-wing hypocrites can.

We are reducing the pollution in cars, coal fired electric plants are being closed. Why don't you acknowledge the problem rather than burying your head in the sand.

According to the economists, during Bush's two terms, he had what they consider NO UNEMPLOYMENT, it was so low. That was until his last two years when congress was dominated by the Democrat majority.

Obama not only has had the worst GDP growth of any previous president in history, but he also has the highest rate of NON-employment of work age citizens. If you count those that quit the work force with the one registered for unemployment, he has a record high unemployment.

He also has a record number of food stamp recipients.

SO, before inserting your foot in your mouth and getting rebuffed, you might want to check the veracity of the liberal talking points you are using.

A perfect repub, never let the facts get in the way of their lies.

Save your self-righteous speech for someone else. I have a 2009 Honda CR-V that I bought new in February 2009. It currently has 8,143 miles on it - that's less than 95 miles traveled per month.

I do not own a golf car and ride a bicycle or walk almost ever I go. How does YOUR carbon foot print stack up to mine?

Right. If you had half a brain, you could run along with Hillary as her VP. THen the two of you would equal one brain....or almost.

Remember, Google is your friend. Don't be embarrassed to be called out on your erroneous liberal talking points. Not everyone is as ignorant as your liberal welfare recipients or illegal aliens.

Go for it, put it in your signature.

Less than that now...over 50% now receive benefits.

MOST of the Ds won't see a raise, they're on welfare and we will end up paying for it.

How about America becoming 3rd world by the invasion of hispanics...you don't think much of your children or grandchildren. The changing demographics is a MUCH bigger and more important problem for this nation.

What "problem"? The air is much cleaner than back in the 60s.

"Carbon footprint", the con to get MORE money from the taxpayers and consumers. As Obama and family jet set around the world they cry for US to cut back...you fools...you believe them.

You're right. They are the reason for all the polution. Why doesn't he know that?
Maybe if he tweeted instead instead of shoring up relationships in other countries and working on a global level, polution would go away.
Damn that plane.

Obama has accomplished little if anything in is world travels. He might as well save the jet fuel (and taxpayer dollars) and just stay in the U.S.

And how do you know that?
You know all the private conversations too.

Pull your head of the sand and take a look at the world around you. His lack of results are readily apparent.

So, in your opinion what has he accomplished?

You don't know what the world would be like if he didn't make trips.

Extensive travels and the signing of documents doesn't count for much in my opinion. I look at the the lack of results during his tenure: Syria, Egypt, Lybia, Iran, Afgahanistan, worsening relationships with Russia, China, Israel and Great Britain to name just a few.

Rick Steves has also traveled the world extensively, maybe he should be our next President. He seems to be as qualified.

W traveled to Crawford 77 times and spent 487 days at Camp David. Thankfully as I look back.
