All the people trashing the woman featured in the article as a deadbeat 'gibsmedat' seem to not want to talk about this part of her story:

For the last two years, she has paid $2,800 to try to get caught up, but the utility wants her to pay $1,700 more before she can even get on a payment plan — an amount she doesn't have.

BTW, where are the liberal billionaires who could take of this in an afternoon?

Also, where are the Christian conservative billionaires? They too could take of the $90 million backlog in an afternoon?

I'll talk about it. I will bet you that the $2,800 she's made in payments came from her last EITC check.

Unemployed head-of-household with three children would get near $4-5000. No job, going to school on a grant or student loan, Section 8 house, EITC, SNAP, (WICs if one of the kiddies is under 5), and likely drawing SSI for the kids. All she has to do is devote next year's EITC check to clearing up the bill.

Sorry, I just have no sympathy
