GOP Grinches
The GOP-controlled Congress is the Grinch who stole heating from needy families this winter.
The federal program to help poor families heat their homes got cut to less than half the amount originally promised by Congress, which could leave thousands of families who are struggling with skyrocketing heating bills this winter "out in the cold."
These are families hoping for a lump of coal (to help heat their homes), but who instead got news that the program which provides grants to needy residents to ease heating costs got slashed by the Republican Grinches, who are continuing their war on the poor and needy.
Heating aid slashed; N.E. faces burden - The Boston Globe
