Reply #15: We have our heat turned down to very little

[Mari333]

because we just cannot afford it. Way too expensive. Michigan , so far, has been milder then usual, but its only December. Local taxes have gone thru the roof, but cutbacks have occured in every area, including help for the poor. The food pantries empty out every week. Its impossible to make it on 2 jobs making minimum wage, and trying to keep a roof over your kids head , pay mandatory car insurance, health care (dont get sick!!)...
In the meantime, Bush is being treated to 1 mill dollar a plate dinners in his king's mansion on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue....
