6. I saw that on the Baltimore Sun when I checked it out this morning

I am a former Marylander. They showed a picture of a woman the other day who had to pay 510 dollars for HALF a tank of fuel oil. And she said it took half her social security check. How can this woman now pay rent and live. This president and his money stealer's are monsters. And they should be treated as such.
