Congress is weak minded. If global warming and energy prices and/or independence was their real concern they would be putting this money towards alternative energy for low income.

Instead they spend 2.5 billion for low income energy assistance, take away domestic oil production deductions for taxes on oil companies, tax payers pay for both in the long run. Then they wonder why tax payers cannot afford homes, energy, gas, or anything else. If Congress would quit spending foolishly we might be able to pay a few bills ourselves.
