Really? I sometimes wonder what planet that woman lives on. <br /><br />Nevada's unemployment rate is 'officially' 13%. Actual rate, due to people who've stopped looking, is more like 20. We also have one of the country's highest forclosure rates. Up here in the north those numbers are much lower - due to mining. <br /><br />That could changes, as the EPA just put out a list of CO2 and other 'dangerous pollutants' emitted by those mines.<br /><br />http://www.theblaze.com/stories/epas-new-list-lets-you-find-the-largest-greenhouse-gas-emitters-near-you/<br /><br />In the north, ALL of the sites are our best employers, located in sparsely populated areas. <br /><br />One, still on that map, is a cement factory - that was CLOSED last year, by EPA... 500 workers were displaced. Near Fernley, the company town stands fenced off - a modern day ghost town, compliments of Obama's EPA. <br /><br />Luckily, most of those workers found employment in a new mine outside of Battle Mountain. But with EPA on the warpath against that evil CO2 - who knows for how long?<br /><br />MUCH if not MOST of our unemployment problem is a DIRECT result of this administration's meddling and its war on private business.Darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612923804586600664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-84643776590000438222012-01-13T06:11:49.075-08:002012-01-13T06:11:49.075-08:00Yup.
