This time, there are no prostitutes involved, just a shady, and serious, tax-fraud scheme. The ploy involves the Obama administration

James O'Keefe is a hero in my opinion. The government is currently replacing roofs and windows and spraying insulation into older homes free of charge (or very little charge whatsoever) to "qualified" homeowners. Additionally many of these homeowners are already getting substantially reduced electric, gas and phone bills, courtesy of our children and our children's children to come. Following is a synopsis of "coverage"

The DOE is distributing $5 billion to states through its Weatherization Assistance Program to make homes more energy efficient. Working through state and local agencies, the Weatherization Program provides low-income families with free home repairs and upgrades to reduce heating and cooling costs.

On average, the weatherization services save a family $350 in energy bills per year. The DOE estimates that about 20 to 30 million families are eligible for the weatherization services nationwide, and its goal is to provide services to a million households each year.

An average of $6,500 can be spent to weatherize each home under the program. First a computerized energy audit is done to determine the measures that will be most cost-effective. Then trained weatherization crews install energy-saving measures. These measures may include:

• Adding insulation to walls, floors and attics

• Sealing air leaks by putting caulking and weather-stripping around doors and windows

• Cleaning, repairing or replacing heating and cooling units

• Upgrading heating and cooling units by adding a setback thermostat

• Sealing heating and cooling air ducts

• Adding insulation to water heater tanks and pipes

• Installing circulating fans, ceiling fans or attic fans

You don’t understand. Your money is really their money.

It has been redistributed for the common good.

au contraire - I DO understand and that is the problem (I'm with you).
