IN THE NEWS THIS MORNING I HEARD MITCH McCONNELL GIVE A SPEECH WHERE HE SAID HIS OPPONENT WAS ANTI-COAL. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU BELIEVE THAT CARBON EMISSIONS FROM THE BURNING OF COAL IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING. WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS, DOES ANYBODY ON EARTH BELIEVE THAT BREATHING THE EMISSIONS FROM BURNING COAL IS HEALTHY? EVEN THE STRONGEST SCIENCE DENYERS ON EARTH NO LONGER BELIEVE THIS. WHAT IF YOU ARE A KENTUCKY COAL MINER WHO DEPENDS ON COAL TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY? THE PROBLEM, AS I SEE IT, IS THAT THE ANTI-COAL PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON CANT PASS A BILL THAT WOULD OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE WAY FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COAL MINERS TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. REALISTICALLY SPEAKING, THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON CANT PASS GAS, LET ALONE A SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS. IM SO SICK OF HEARING THAT WE CANT AFFORD THIS OR THAT. WE COULDNT AFFORD ANYTHING DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, BUT WE DID IT ANYWAY. WE CANT AFFORD NOT TO PASS A COMPREHENSIVE JOBS BILL IN AMERICA. IN JANUARY, OUR TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN WILL RETURN. WHERE WILL THEY WORK? THE NUMBER ONE GOAL OF EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN IN AMERICA, BOTH DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN, SHOULD BE 100% EMPLOYMENT. WHEN WE ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, A LOT OF OUR OTHER PROBLEMS WILL GO AWAY.
