Presumably when the coal mines come back, these people won't need to rely on taxpayer handouts.

Trump requests 93% cut to Appalachian Regional Commission.

The proposal is included in a discretionary budget, a year-to-year funding proposal that is different than the mandatory funding included in the recently passed Trump-Republican megabill.

Residents of the Appalachian region spoke out against the funding cuts, saying the commission is part of the momentum that is bringing growth to the region, from skilled trades and leadership development to technical support and grants for local programs.

“Funding for infrastructure, broadband and informational services is key to our success.”

Broadband? Information? This is some woke HRC stuff where we turn coal miners into coders, isn't it? Back to the mines!

Hmm....money from the Biden/Harris admin now Trump snatched back.
But hey, a quick look at all those over 30+ counties about to lose money less one county voted for Trump by some 40+ points.
This is what they voted for. Enjoy.
