A prior thread title: "Put Up, or Shut Up; What are Republicans offering the Middle class? Be Specific" asked and I'm telling you what the GOP WON"T be offering!!!
Destroying industries...
A) Destroying an entire industry that pays $100 billion a year in Federal/State/Local taxes.
B) The GOP will NOT put another 400,000 people (most of these are "middle class") out of work by destroying that industry.
Obama told us that he prefers that industry be destroyed!
Obama promised us that he would bankrupt companies.
I've yet to hear ANY conservative ever wish that any company go bankrupt!
OhioAmerican Energy, Inc. (“OhioAmerican”, a Subsidiary of Murray Energy Corporation (“Murray Energy”, today announced the closure of its coal mining operations near Brilliant, Jefferson County, Ohio.
Regulatory actions by President Barack Obama and his appointees and followers were cited as the entire reason. “Mr. Obama has already destroyed 83,000 megawatts of coal-fired electricity generation in America,” said Mr. Michael T. W. Carey, Vice President of Government Affairs for Murray Energy. “Electric prices in the recent PJM Interconnection monthly auction were bid up 800 percent (8 times) for 2015-2016 because of this,” he added.
“At its peak, OhioAmerican employed 239 local people in high-paying, well-benefited jobs,” said Mr. Stanley T. Piasecki, General Manager and Superintendent. “University studies show that our Mines can create up to eleven (11) secondary jobs in our communities, for store clerks, teachers, etc., to serve our direct employees.
Thus, if one uses the eleven (11) to one (1) multiplier, the Obama Administration has destroyed 2,868 jobs in eastern Ohio with this forced Mine closure,” stated Mr. Piasecki.

Obama said he'd like to see higher gas prices! YUP! Well he should be happy because he is doing everything he can to increase the cost of oil which makes up 67% of the cost of a gallon of gas. With Iraq oil (4th largest producer) not going to the West that will put pressure on European oil prices
and on US domestic oil prices...Today oil prices closed $113 a barrel.. a month ago it was $105.00 at that rate by this time next year oil will be $235.
And all the while Federal land leases signed by Obama admin. leases the lowest amount of federal land in 25 years
“The slow walking of permits and leases for natural gas and oil production has been a part of this president’s energy policy from the get go,” Chris Warren, spokesman for the free-market Institute for Energy Research told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Under this administration’s watch we have seen production on federal lands and waters plummet due to these policies.”
In 2013, it took 194 days on average for the BLM to approve oil and gas drilling permits — 99 days on average for companies to fix any problems with their application and 95 days for the BLM to approve the permits after problems have been fixed.
“Compare this to five days in Texas and 25 in North Dakota and it’s no wonder why production on federal lands has gone down,” Warren added.

How does that fit into the "middle class" economic scheme of things?
A GOP administration will NOT be "slow walking of permits and leases for natural gas and oil production"
