    It doesn't, I'm all for a strong military but I want a tax increase to go along with it, just like I wanted a war tax when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan as I feel all Americans should have to sacrifice during war time as it's bullshit to only expect those in uniform to make a huge sacrifice when the general public is to cheap and tight fisted to make a monetary sacrifice.

    man i would buy some war bonds even..if they paid 5%!

    Coal shipments to top importer China could fall a further 25 million tonnes in 2016, analysts said on Monday, with foreign suppliers struggling to compete in a massively oversupplied market.

    Shipments of coal to China over the first nine months to September fell 29.8 percent to 156.36 million tonnes. Volumes are on track to fall about 60 million tonnes in 2015.

    The recent government push to support its domestic market and focus on cleaner energy sources has raised doubts over whether its status as an importer is sustainable.

    "We assume a further 25 million tonne drop from China," said Fabio Gabrieli, director of dry bulk analysis at Mercuria Energy Trading, speaking at the Coaltrans world coal conference.

    "We believe that next year what China drops is going to impact Indonesian exports," Gabrieli said, adding that Indonesian exports were forecast to fall 20 million tonnes in 2016.

    Colin Hamilton, head of commodities research at Macquarie, said he also forecast Chinese 2016 coal imports to drop by around 25 million tonnes and in the long term it was possible they could fall to zero.

    In the past, China was one of the world's largest thermal coal exporters, until around 2004 when rocketing demand at home helped drive the need for imports.

    Why has the coal country economy been on steady decline since the 1970's?  Back to the OP - how is Dump got to reverse a 40 year economic trend?  Or is he lying to the white collar workers?  

    oh hell all politicians promise chit they can't deliver on and you know it.

    It's dirty, and besides fracking making natural gas abundant and cheap we can't overlook what energy efficiency and what green energy is doing to make coal the dinosaur energy source that it is.

    or save it till we use up everything else.

    I think it's funny that people assume a turbo sled is slower on trails than lighter sleds. They are not....a little bit more effort is required but not much 

    i agree the 4s motor doesn't really weigh much more and most can't tell the diff in handling from a full tank of fuel to a almost empty one and that could be 50 lbs or more .
