Default Re: Rising Heating Costs Hurting Poor

Some people may not like my reply but I missed getting help with heating assistant by around 600 dollars. Some of these poor people if you ever went in their houses it is so hot you can hardly breath! I am not talking about older people who have poor circulation or people who have respiratory problems. I am talking about healthly people who crank up their heat. Turn down the heat and all the other things you are suppose to do and your heat bill may go down a little. I don't mind helping people who have lost their jobs and need help, but alot of times it is the people who are on welfare who need the help with heating. In fact I work with some older people and when I go into their homes their homes are cool because they need to save the money to pay the heating bill. How much more are we going to help these able bodied people who are generation after generation welfare folks who always want handouts, dont' turn down the heat because they think they are entitled to get everything free.
I feel that if you are working and don't make enough money your are entitled to get help with your heat, at least you are trying to work, people who have lost their jobs that they had no voice in about their job, people who did work at one time in their life, but forget about these welfare folks who never worked a day in their life. I'm tired of these people who think they are entitled to everything! Do like the rest of working people turn down the heat, wear sweaters, caulk, etc.,. Or how about getting a job.
