Our great sr senator from Kentucky Mitch McConnell, who just absolutely loves coal, and come election time is always pandering to the miners, is the main culprit in blocking the pension fix.

When he says he loves coal he really means he loves billionaires who own coal mines. The people who actually dig the coal? Not so much love for them. Their unions have been broken. And there is no longer any union money of any consequence that he has to worry about going to his opponent.

Cut the miners wages and pensions and make them work harder. Send more of the wealth created to the billionaires who fund his campaigns and less to the miners who actually do the work and support the economy by spending hard earned wages. However, he'll make sure the miners have their guns and the gay people out of the bathrooms.

No, not necessarily. They use to back when unions were strong. Prior to the Reagan Revolution. Back when union money and support mattered in elections. Union power is now broken. The Democratic party is now about 80% conservatI've and the Republican 100%.

It was really only for 72 days. Healthcare was a much more pressing issue at the time
