Cool, i didn't know the feds were paying bills for poor folks now.
Where can i sign up?
"The additional spending would increase to $3.1 billion the amount the federal government will have this year for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, a decades-old program"
Every so often, the gas and electric companies include an insert with their bills asking for contributions to their LEAP funds. I suppose that's their way of giving the non-taxpayers among us a chance to contribute, because I've always known Congress contributes on my behalf.
between this, welfare, and free health care, it's pretty much a free ride being poor in this country... in the mean time the rest of us have to work our butts off to get the things the "poor" get for free... If you want to see real poor people, try a third world country.. we have no real poor here.
They're not. You are. They just happen to be the involuntary transfer agency
