President Obama’s proposed 2012 budget will cut several billion dollars from the government’s energy assistance fund for poor people, officials briefed on the subject told National Journal.

It's the biggest domestic spending cut disclosed so far, and one that will likely generate the most heat from the president's traditional political allies.

Is this guy retarded?

He can't do this! I mean, he CAN'T DO THIS.. Because this is how you GET liberals and minorities to sign on to stupid, liberal energy policies.

It's like the northeast.. Places up there in Ted Kennedy's old state get subsidies to help them heat their homes. So, they can continue to support wrong headed energy policies, knowing they will never have to pay the price for them.

If you remove the subsidy, however.. All that changes and people are forced to pay market rates. Which I completely approve of... But it's going to shoot his windmill & rubber band energy policy right in the foot.

great news.

All BS programs to the poor have to be cut so prices can come down and the rich will be forced to pay a living wage.

We have to take away the rich business ability to pass their cost of wages slaves onto the government.

Business have to pay for the right to sell on our lands.

Most of what Obama has done since he has been in office has been to cater to big business.

He only caters to a chosen few big businesses like GE that pour millions of dollars into Democrat campaign coffers. The rest of them he's trying to destroy.

How does this cater to Big Business?

Big Businesses LOVE subsidies because they permit poor people to purchase goods and services they normally wouldn't be able to afford.

you peopel think these are give aways to the poor, but you are wrong.

they are give aways to business so they never have to lower their prices.

it is there way of trying to control and manage demand. which can never be down.

the market has to be able to ebb and flow expand and contract as market forces see fit.


We must never isolate business form hard times, and business has to lower prices during down turns to stimulate demand.


but many of you tiny little brains cant think pass give always to the poor.

We never give shit to the poor, it is always a give away to business.

-Officials were quick to stress that while LIHEAP was being trimmed, many other Department of Health and Human Services programs, particularly those funding early childhood education initiatives, will see their funding rise.

And there's the catch. All this really equates to, is shaving off of one program to boost/prop up another. Most likely to help poor minorities and/or possibly even anchor babies.

It has FLOTUS written all over it. . . .

Why Should The Tenant Get Money ??
They Just Move In, Kick Their Feet Up And Whine.
They Get Free Food, Utilities, And A Roof.

Look I Am Fairly Big Hearted. I'm Not A Lump Of Coal.
I Was Enlightened By Doing Work For Landlords On
The 'Not So Great Side Of Town',
But It Was The Same Neighborhood I Lived In.

I Fixed Their Toilets, Drains, Widows, And Lights.
EVERYthing. Roof, Stairs You Name It.

So I Could PAY My Rent, Utilities, Bills
With Two Children. And The Plasma Center Bought My Cigarettes.

Charity Is A Good Thing.
But Don't Feel Sorry For Anyone Just Because You're Better Off.

No one should get money unless they work for it.

The system was sold as to help the poor, but what it is doing is feeding the rich.

giving basic life essentials is not help, it is just keeping them a live long enough to milk the tax payer.

this is a horrible evil system. The rich get free money, the poor get what they want, and working Americans are fucking slaughtered and pay the taxes for everyone.
