    Looks like Obama, Clinton and the rest of the anti coal crowd are on the hook for this. Kill coal, kill funding for black lung.

    looks like you are a sleazy liar. this is all on trump

    US coal exports are at record levels, didn't you know that? Also it is a fact that, without coal, the North East would have suffered widespread blackouts last winter.

    You need to read the entire article also. What is it with people commenting on things they do not read??????????

    "At the current rate, the coal tax collects more than enough money to cover miners' benefits — $450 million in FY 2017. But that wasn't always the case. The fund had to borrow money to pay for benefits in the past, and that, plus interest on the loans, has put the fund deep in debt."

    Yes.......

    From the link: " A tax on coal companies supports the fund, but that tax is set for a 55 percent cut at the end of 2018, even as the fund's debt exceeds $4.3 billion and demand for benefits is expected to grow."
