The idea was inspired partly by the Giving Pledge, created by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett, to encourage billionaires to give more than half of their wealth away.

Interesting idea, something you would expect a democrat administration to do not a republican one.

I would expect democrats to shower the people with free stuff and food stamps, so long as someone else will pay for it. Or they would just deficit spend to provide these incentives to vote for socialism. Workers and their best interest is nowhere on their radar, because they do not view workers as being creators of wealth. They think we can print wealth indefinitely, with no ramification or long term impact on society.

You cannot print prosperity. You can encourage prosperity through policy, and by giving people the tools and skills necessary to successfully create wealth and compete in the real world.

Technology job training was Hillary's plan. Trump ridiculed it and instead said he was going to bring coal back. Trump loyalists didn't want to be told about job training for technology. They wanted coal back.

Trump's plan to return to 1950's coal domination failed, so he's stealing Hillary's plan for job training.

Maybe people that lose their jobs due to Trump's Trade War will at least get some job training in another field that's not impacted by the tariffs.

hahahaha.


Without those coal plants producing 35% of base load electricity (and much more at night) in the USA, all of that technology doesn't work.

As for your first point. Trump not once ridiculed ANY training. I challenge you to post ANYTHING where he did.

Now if he ridiculed crooked Hillary. Well sure. Lots of material there.

This would be one of the best things to happen during the Trump administration to date and I am far from a trump supporter. This is the right thing.

Awaiting Trump's coal comeback, miners reject retraining

Mike Sylvester entered a career training center earlier this year in southwestern Pennsylvania, he found more than one hundred federally funded courses covering everything from computer programming to nursing.

He settled instead on something familiar: a coal mining course.

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor has received about $2 million since 2015 ...an initiative of former President Barack Obama to help retrain workers in coal-dependent areas...120 people have signed up for jobs retraining outside the mines, far short of the target of 700

...(much more in the link)

LOL! I take it, that you didn't read it. This is what it said.

“I think there is a coal comeback,” said the 33-year-old son of a miner.

Exactly what Trump predicted during the election. Who would better know than the ones who work in industry.



Under Trump we can have coal AND high tech. Trump the businessman knows this. Obama & Crooked Hillary, who only sucked from the government tit, were clueless.




Thanks for posting.

I know its a horrible plan because Trump is going to do it but the same plan would have been great if Hillary had done it.
