White House offering more aid for winter heat, utility bills
By JOSH BOAKyesterday
The Biden administration is taking steps to help distribute several billion dollars in aid for winter heating and utility bills, an unprecedented sum that comes largely from its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.
The package provided an additional $4.5 billion for the governments Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which typically has funding of $3 billion to $4 billion annually. Aid for renters can also cover utility costs, while the money provided to state, local and tribal governments can help families that face high heating bills and are ineligible for other programs.

What's funny is I barely qualify for a little section 8 housing help. I would qualify easier if my electrical bill was higher. Oh well, it's also always nicer outside with the undies, so it's well worth it.

No wonder the Evangelicals are Trump-humpers - they recognize an anti-Christian scam when they see one.

(27,818 posts)... but I think the Dems are getting dangerously close to spewing that "do unto others" bullshit.
At this point, there's no telling how low they're willing to go.

Nance, I don't know how these "leaders" can still be keeping up this crap defense of sheer super obvious to a 5 year old dumbfuckery?
Over political games they put lives in danger with ridiculous rhetoric and some are just over the top itching for a fight, like a national war between parties, WTF would that look like in the internet age, and whose that serious about something that a simple form can make change, any way?
