    your assertion that trump is adding coal jobs by closing coal mines is probably incorrect

    Manufacturers are mired in their deepest slump since the Great Recession


    American manufacturers are sliding deeper into recession. A closely watched gauge of factory activity released on Tuesday registered its weakest reading in more than 10 years, weighed down by slowing global growth, the Trump administration's trade war with China and an ongoing strike by thousands of General Motors workers.

    The monthly survey by the Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, showed that the sector — which accounts for roughly 12% of U.S. gross domestic product — in September shrank to its lowest level since since June 2009. Manufacturers are also adding fewer jobs.


    Slowing U.S. economy compounds Trump's political woes

    A decline in international trade and demand for U.S. goods is the biggest factor denting manufacturers, according to ISM. One maker of electrical equipment and parts surveyed by the group also said that "tariffs have caused much confusion in the industry."

    CBS News summarily dismissed. Manufactured data. Argument from randU fallacy.

    They spent 30 years telling us they created jobs. Trump PROMISED miners new coal jobs. If I remember correctly those recently closed mines accounted for some 30% of mining jobs in the region.

    Oh, it gets worse for our trucking industry workers too:

    "Trucking fleets slashed 4,500 jobs last month and the pace of hiring slowed across the logistics field amid signs of tepid growth in the U.S. goods-producing economy.

    "The pullback in truck payrolls in August ended a four-month expansion, according to preliminary seasonally adjusted employment figures released Friday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The overall shipping-focused transportation and logistics sector, excluding passenger and sightseeing companies, contracted by 600 jobs."

    Trump says whatever he thinks will get him a vote. He does not have to believe it. I suspect he knows there is no such thing as clean beautiful coal. He lies so easily. He must have a lot of practice.
