Also terminated was the entire staff of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, according to Mark Wolfe, executive director of the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. The program provides about $4 billion to help millions of Americans with their heating and cooling bills.

“It will definitely hamper program operations,” Wolfe said, noting that he doesn’t see how the agency can “allocate the remaining $387 million in funds for this year without federal staff. The program could well grind to a halt.”

I can only assume he doesn't think it gets cold in the South.

Three of the coldest winters I ever experienced were in Kentucky, and a fourth in Texas.

Don't necessarily think the people freezing to death will be Blue voters, Donald...

Are the "weeding out" the weak and disabled? Are they trying to lower the population? There's no rhyme or reason... I agree they want to let many people die or siffer, including the Vets and those on food assistance... not to mention gutting the Health Department, CDC etc ...

1.nBillionaires believe all the wealth and resources in the world belong to them.
It is an addiction, they will destroy everything to get their drug of choice, cash.

2. They refuse to pay for the old, sick, infirm. These are useless eaters
who do not make them richer.

3. They do not want to pay for food, housing, healthcare, retirement for any one else.

4. They also know climate change is real. They refuse to pay for prevention or repair. There will be widespread chaos and destruction.

5. The rich are stealing as much as they can now before it all goes sideways.
They are building their bolt holes and safety net.

GOP continues to lie to Americans about climate change -- but the chaos continues, and the summer will sizzle -- while GOP turns up the heat on the weak and poor -- Just as Jesus Christ would do, right?

their entire goal is to kill millions of people. Tens of millions. Maybe more.

Why? Who fucking knows?

After we have been weakened and on our knees, POOTY will make his move against us, with TSF's blessing. I can very well see that in their plans.
