Rough waters ahead.

Not terribly surprising, unfortunately. Last I checked, about 3,000 coal miners have been laid off due to "regulation." That's really bad considering that a greater portion of the individuals laid off were making above the average wage in the US without a college education. I read an article in the WSJ back in September. It featured a foreman at a coal mine. His mine was closing. He was losing a six figure paycheck. His only plan was to borrow money to finish his 4 year degree to become a gym teacher, which paid (IIRC) $35k a year. Sad.

And the hits just keep coming.

That particular state in which the mine was closing has usually had a weak economy. Strange that during the worst global economy since the great depression the feds kick people while they are down. Salt in the wounds. What an unsympathetic agenda.
