The proposal says that the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program [<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LIHEAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LIHEAP</span></a>] is “unnecessary” because Trump is planning to increase domestic <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/oil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oil</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/gas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gas</span></a> production &amp; reduce <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> prices.

Mr Tech King<p>HHS layoffs froze $380M in vital LIHEAP energy aid, leaving millions at risk during extreme weather. The staff cuts jeopardize assistance for low-income families needing help with heating &amp; cooling bills.

Josh<p>I am not exaggerating when I say this: this move will fucking kill people on fixed incomes and low income families this coming winter. I have multiple customers that literally *CANNOT* afford heat without their LIHEAP disbursements. </p><p>This motherfucker tanks the economy on purpose *and* takes away people's necessary support.
