Clinton campaign claims "Clinton Wasn't Very Clear When She said she Wanted to Put Coal Miners Out of Business"

During CNN’s Democratic townhall event in Ohio on Sunday night, Hillary Clinton said she wants to move away from using coal as an energy source — even if it means eliminating jobs in the process.

“We’re gonna put a lot of coal miners and coal companies outta business,” Clinton said.

Clinton’s statement wasn’t just a slip of the tongue; she plans to continue Obama’s efforts to steer America away from coal as an energy source.

She has proposed that the government should dole out $30 billion in aid to families who will lose their source of income due to her energy policies. These funds would be spent covering health-care and retirement costs. For working-age individuals, however, these handouts would not equal the income lost by eliminating their jobs.
