Well, guess what? Not only is Obama not helping with the gas and mortgage, he wants to cut heating subsidies by $2.5 billion. Hope and Change, baby!
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama wants to cut $2.5 billion from a $5 billion home heating aid program for the poor, a person familiar with his 2012 budget proposal said Wednesday, halving the popular fund as he looks for places to rein in federal spending.
The proposal would cut the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program to its 2008 level of about $2.5 billion.
The person discussed the details on condition of anonymity because Obama’s spending outline has not been formally released.
The White House plans to send the proposal to Congress on Monday.
