American miners could lose pensions

this ìs a interesting and sad story . there is lots of blame to go around but at the end of the day the govt allowed it to happen
to set the drama ,this is how its shaping up .
first the gop controlled house is now facing the predicament of funding the pension like the agreed to or forget about the deal they made and let the miners lose out .
what makes this interesting is that if the house allows the pensions to be funded as the story points out , they wont be able to just stop there , every other pension facing foreclosure will be lined up . its a pandoras box .

That it is. At the root of this is the question of whether or not the taxpayer should be held responsible for bailing out private industry in the event of falling stock market values?

Same way he handles everything. Lots of BS and no substance.
It's the Media's fault.
