The little guy takes another hit.

       I can't believe our so called Representatives would even consider ending the Energy Assistance program while continuing to subsidize private schools. The energy assistance program helps many low income citizens of our state who will no heat or electric this winter with out help unlike the citizens who choose to send their kids to expensive private schools. I heard a statement that if they cut the subsidy to these private schools some may close and these privileged kids will have to go to a public school. heaven forbid. These are private school that are run as a business and  people choose to send their kids there unlike low income people who won't have the choice when it comes to heat their home when the temperature drops below freezing this winter. 
      Once again the little guy takes the hit. With all the cuts in other social programs this is just another slap in the face of our states lower income citizens but I hope these lower income citizens remember that a votes value is not adjusted according to income and they use it wisely in nNovember.
