Treasonists Obama & Biden Destroy 9,000 More U.S. Mining Jobs In October: While They Approve Coal Mining In China
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 9,000 jobs lost in mining in October, a statistic Republican presidential candidateMitt Romney is likely to cite in the waning hours of the campaign.
“Mining lost 9,000 jobs in October, with most of the decline occurring in support activities for mining,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in Friday’s jobs report. “Since May of this year, employment in mining has decreased by 17,000.”
Some have critiqued the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency for their regulations on the coal industry, calling it a” war on coal.”
At a rally in Ohio, Romney said of a possible Obama second term, “You know he’s going to continue his war on coal, you knows he’s going to keep pushing back on oil and natural gas.” This issue also plays in Pennsylvania, where Romney is making a new push.
The Romney campaign also released an ad this week that reinforces its message of President Obama’s hostility to the coal industry.
“If somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them,” President Obama says in the ad, then adding that “22 Pennsylvania Coal Units Announced They Will Close Or Convert.”
The free market energy policy group American Energy Alliance pointed to these job losses as a clear indication of the need for new energy policy reform.
“[Friday's] employment report underscores the need for new, pro-growth policies for the energy and manufacturing sectors,” the group’s president Thomas Pyle said.

Treasonist Joe Biden & EPA Approves Grants For China To Produce Coal: Simultaneously Biden Closes US Coal Plants Puts Americans Out Of Work!
“One of our concerns has been … with so many regulations coming from so many parts of the EPA and other agencies … that we’re actually sending lots of jobs overseas,” says Rep. Griffith.
China Building 1 Coal Plant Every 2 Weeks:
The Obama-Biden Attacks On American Coal and Energy Jobs
Well, your ability to guess why the Murray Energy Corporation today announced that it is closing a mine in Brilliant, Ohio will be largely dependent on whether you rely on local news or not. If you’re just paying attention to local news… you won’t be told atall why a coal mine that employed 239 people at its peak laid off 24 of its remaining 56 employees today, with the remaining to be (hopefully) integrated into the company elsewhere; in fact, you won’t even be told that the mine employed that many people directly. But if you go to the company’s own press release… yeah. That’s a different story.
