  1. Yes he needs to pay his billionaire backers with your money.

  2. I am particularly disgusted at the cuts on LIHEAP. This program helps millions of Americans to heat and cool their homes through grants that help them winterize and pay their fuel and electric bills.

    If his cuts to LIHEAP are successful, millions of Americans will roast in their own homes this summer, and millions will freeze this winter.

    I worked for NYPIRG (NY Public Interest Group) who helped people to get information on how to apply for LIHEAP (the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). It was a vital part of residents’ lives, enabling seniors and low income families to survive.

    I applied and was granted enough money to pay for a tank of oil to heat my home when I was unemployed. It made the difference between freezing to death and being able to survive a very cold winter in NY.

    Should they destroy this program, PEOPLE WILL DIE. It is inevitable.

  3. Haven’t a good number of the US’s bridges failed or got D’s when graded? Don’t we actually need these fundings? I guess the ultra wealthy will just helicopter everywhere.

  4. These cuts are the kind that don’t show effects immediately, but will completely gut the country over time. We’ll become one of those sh*thole countries that Trump loves to disparage, as our infrastructure crumbles and we fall below the curve of innovation.

    All of which leaves us that much more vulnerable as the climate stresses intensify. All those weakened bridges that collapse in storms or get washed away by floods? Learn to do without them.
