2008 Minn Post: A closer look at Barack Obama (LIHEAP)
Monday, Feb. 11, 2008

On paper, Obama supports a $1 billion infusion into LIHEAP, but when the chance came to add the money to the recent economic stimulus bill, Obama's top economic advisor Austan Goolsbee openly opposed the idea. Goolsbee called LIHEAP "a bureaucratic program … that would take a long time." However, Jonathan E. Kaplan, the Washington correspondent of the Portland Press Herald, noted that "LIHEAP funding can get to those who already have qualified for the program quickly -- additional funding released by the Bush administration on Jan. 17 was dispersed to Maine families by Jan. 22."

3. That is why I am not to hard on the right wing.

They are against the miss spending of taxation by removing it, or removing government, because of corruption.

I think the corruption should be fixed so we can have a real governmental system for the people.

That requiers breaking up the consolidations. Including using progressive taxation.



Why do you think it says you will know the time of the end, when more get more and less get less. Because consolidations are the problem, and that situation happens, then is corrected. That is why 'it is not the end yet' because it happens many times. Sometimes by war, sometimes other ways.

And all this stuff you are learning, isn't being broadcast or written down for everyone, so that after the correction things can return to a more normal system, but until then, you are being shown what is going on, just like it has happened before.

And that is why you did not know Cain was a Job, or that Jobs are to get people home, or that God loves everyone. That is why you teach the edges, because it helps a bit, but until it is needed the stuff is not unlocked, but is stored to create the correction when needed.

And you will remember it, but will you be able to explain it? That is why Steven King wrote that the Silver Streak Bike rides every 30 years or so, every generation, and why only those in the center of the eye will remember it as the memory fades from most.


And I will be paid the beer and travel money that I am due.
