kinda wondering...

      I didn't see it, but Billy says the President has announced he is going to cut LIHEAP. So much for that son-of-a-bitch claiming he understood the poor of this country, how the poor man couldn't make his bills. If he does this, we need to pull an Egypt on him for real!
     Why? Yesterday, I got a call from a 75 year old woman. She is widowed, lives alone. Her LIHEAP finally came through. She had been without heat for over a month. How she did not freeze to death, I will never know. LIHEAP sent $400.00 to her fuel company, but guess what! They refused to deliver it. Why? She didn't have enough $$$ for 150 gallons. This is where I came in. I gave her a voucher to pay the extra 120 dollars she was short.
      Now, you tell me, just what the hell are people gonna do if he cuts more from the poor people? He has already frozen the Social Security cost of living raises. They claim there has been no inflation. 3 of the 5 charities I work with are out of funds to help these people make it through the winter. My funds are dwindling rapidly. The money we use depends completely on donations.
     Last week a lady was in my office. She needed fuel and had been without for over a week. She came in freezing and sick. Her LIHEAP fuel was already gone. She wasn't mentally "there". She had been setting fires in her kitchen sink to stay warm.
    I get an average 4 families per day needing fuel assistance because the LIHEAP isn't enough. These people can barely make their bills, and if they had to put out the 500+ dollars it takes to get a friggin fuel company to even bother to deliver, they simply couldn't make it.
     In the summer, fuel is cheap(er). In the winter, they purposefully raise the price. It costs over 3.50 a gallon now. It is insane. Nope folks, no inflation there!
     THESE FUEL COMPANIES ARE A DAMNED SCAM all by their little selves. I have one, count em one, company who will deliver 50 gallons instead of the 150 the others demand. Good. I have sent at least 100 people to that company for their fuel. That means those other sum botches have lost 100 customers. 100 customers at 150 dollars each... hmmm..... yay me!
    We need to get a grip on our government. For real. I may be too late already because we have created a monster.
    Oh! Wait! I know! Maybe they figure that, other countries will kick in and save the poor little Americans! Maybe other countries will come to our financial aid! Sure! I mean, the son of a bitch is cutting what little we have as they send billions of dollars to Haiti and Iraq and Afghanistan....
      Our government stinks for real.
