Again, the poor go begging for heat (Citizens Energy Corp.-Kennedy's Ultimate Scam)

A COUPLE OF weeks ago, parts of our state got three feet of snow. Many children were happy they didn't have school. Others broke out their cross-country skis. Thousands more were caught in traffic jams and had flights delayed.

This problem isn't new. Nor is the annual battle to adequately finance the federal fuel fund to heat the homes of vulnerable people. So once again, winter's here and 15 million households -- 75 percent of those eligible -- will never receive a dime. Those who do simply won't get enough to make it stretch through winter.

What we're asking for is simple: A permanent funding level of at least $2 billion for federal fuel assistance

Say no more Joe Kennedy. We know what you want.

Citicaxen's Energy Corp claims to be non profit, but it makes the Kennedy's rich. All excess money handed out in bonuses. The late Robert, the babysitter molester, was a beneficiary of this scam.

There was also a great American Spectator article on this.

Oh, $2 Billion, huh? Plus extra cash as needed, huh? Saaaaaay, aren't the Democrats the ones who are complaining about the Deficit? Soooooo ... where to they plan to cut in order to pay for this boondogle?

I love these left-wing radical extremists! The will NEVER leave a method (email phone etc) to contact them. If you do see an email address, it's guaranteed to be fake!

Why no discussion that almost half of the cost of fuel is taxes?

[Little Ray]

Geez. These days, I can't (actually, don't want to) afford the gas bill at the current rate! So why should I be taxed to pay for these losers?
