With the loss of the population that continues to happen to Eastern Kentucky; does anyone really think that we won the war on coal?
I would argue that the war on coal was won, the coal barrens are still making great monies while the worker has suffered.
I would also argue that Mitch and Hal need to go. Your quality of life is not that good if you live in Eastern Kentucky, hence the people are leaving. Life expectancy is down, you lose an average of two years of your life. You live in a cancer belt. You have three of the poorest counties in the nation on your back door.
Yet, politicians will tell you it is someone else's fault, usually your poor neighbor that is on welfare and as they are doing this corporate welfare (socialism) and not a word is being said about that.
Politicians will say man look at Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas. We should be like them.
I would argue if you are going to copy off someone copy of Massachusetts, California, Vermont, Minnesota, Colorado. Hate them are what ever, but from GDP models, life expectancy , quality of life models, they are all doing better than us and with the exception of Texas are doing better than what the politicians say to copy.
Thoughts?
