They should be able to get the difference from Solyndra and Fannie and Freddie.

Heating oil has become prohibitively expensive. Years ago, the climate goons convinced a bunch of elderly and poor to turn in their old woodstoves for new efficient kerosene heaters. Now they can’t afford the heating oil and suppliers won’t deliver less than a 100 gallons.

I heat almost exclusively with a woodstove and a small space heater. Can’t afford the $1000 a year for diesel for my furnace. I can get oak for $200 a cord and it puts locals to work.

There running a radio and tv commercial featuring Joe Kennedy hocking Chavez oil “we asked the oil companies to help and they said no” Heart wrenching selfengrandizing Joe promoting his investments. Who’s he kidding? Oh thats right he’s for the little guy and the seniors who are Americans and who can’t afford oil to keep warm in the winter. Stuff it Joe

Personally, I am glad to see this. People want to vote for politicians who push these insane policies, they should feel the same pain of these policies we all do.

Yep, must be an unpaid position huh Wolfe? No conflict of interest here, right?

Wonder how many of the so-called poor buy lottery tickets, booze and drugs with the money they are supposed to spend on their utilities.

But we still have NPR! Just tell the old folks to cuddle up to the nice, warm radio.

“Just in time for the cold weather and holiday season”???
Hey man, yesterday I went sailing, 12 mph. Today 82 and worked in the yard.
Tomorrow 82 and again 11 mph and sailing again.
Monday, offshore fishing as it will be about 6 MPH out of the S.E.
Life is good.

Like so many programs this is abused..I have seen clients intentionally not pay months of bills so they get shut off notices and then qualify for 'emergency ' help..

My guess is this is actually a false cut.. they will add additional funds in another bill because of need..

With all the foreclosures, why would they even need to buy heating oil. The price should be rock bottom because of a lack of demand. If they can’t afford the rock bottom price, I’m sure they could just put solar panels on their roofs (government has lots of them available from a recent Dept. of Energy client bankruptcy). They could use some of those coveted illegal immigrants to dust the snow off regularly. Those desiring a more reliable source of energy could install wind turbines in their back yards. It is advised that those who install wind turbines invite groups of leftists, such as MoveOn, LeanForward, DNC, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, etc. to provide a constant flow of hot air to power the turbines.

All told, some 9 million households rely on LIHEAP

I'd suggest the heads of those household start beating and banging on Lisa Jackson and get her to back off the MACT regulations.

Hey, we have to have the bucks to send to the PLO -
“the U.S. government has committed over $4 billion in bilateral assistance to the
Palestinians,”

Not to mention the billions we send to just about every country on earth -
