Wait wait wait, I have something to say. Where is the senate getting the money to pay for this blatant welfare program?
The Senate doesn't actually have the balls to deal with the realities of our situation in any way. They're too afraid to touch the issue of taxes or any other forms of raising revenue.
However, you say "welfare program" like it's a bad thing.
Many welfare programs are bad in that they discourage people from bettering their lives in a substantial way. I think this is a bit much though, 90% of their energy bills? I'd support a lower number in the 60-70% range.
