The thing is, she's not close to 100% correct on any statement in this reel.

Obama did not put coal miners on the street "overnight", technological revolutions in oil and natural gas extraction (fracking) along with railroad deregulation moving western coal east much cheaper, all became cheaper options than eastern coal mines, and all combined to shut down eastern coal mines.

Biden didn't "kill" the Keystone Pipeline, he killed a planned expansion to an already complete pipeline network. About 50 existing jobs were cut, 3,900 projected future full time jobs over a two year period were cut.

And the federal layoffs to "cut federal spending"?
Fed payroll is less than 4% of federal spending. The total layoffs, buyouts and other planned reductions will reduce the fed payroll by 12%. All things being equal, this will bring fed payroll to 3.12% of total federal spending, a savings of 0.78% of fed spending.
A win is a win, right?

Except here's the thing:
The federal govt rarely eliminates a job in a federal department, agency, bureau or office without replacing it with a contractor.
And the typical total contract replacement cost for a typical GS employee typically costs about 140% to 160% of what that GS pay scale was.
So every million we "save" in fed payroll, typically costs us about 1.4M to 1.6M in another budget line, or a net loss of 40% to 60%.

It appears there are those who want to forget these quotes: “So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” Obama said during a 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle’s editorial board. Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also pledged that “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”

"A 2015 study found the coal industry lost 50,000 jobs from 2008 to 2012 during Obama’s first term. During Obama’s second term, the industry employment in coal mining has fallen by another 33,300 jobs, 10,900 of which occurred in the last year alone, according to federal data."
