Senators Schumer and Gregg Propose Billions More for LIHEAP Funding
In a bit of rare good news for energy consumers, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) each proposed over the weekend that LIHEAP funding be increased by as much as $2.5 billion. This is an expensive but very necessary measure to keep those with low or fixed incomes safe and warm for the winter. Contact your local representative if you want to express your support.
New York Times reported that hedge fund managers have a new champion in their effort to keep legally dodging the taxes the rest of us pay: none other than New York Senator Charles Schumer. Now you know who is Schumer’s friend and why he caused the bank run on Indymac. He truly support hedge fund and private equity because they truly support him.

“In a Sunday news conference, he said everything in his letter was already known to the public.”
If it was already known to the public, what is the reason for his public letter? It is contradict to what he said previouly :”I just bring private message to the public. Do not kill the messanger.” What a great liar from time to time!
