WNU Editor: Americans are already suffering .... ‘It’s like living in an igloo.’ People are turning off their heat as prices surge (CNN).

I had healthcare before obamacare. Obama did not help me one bit. He hurt my medical care.

You should be wearing sweaters around the house before asking the government for help.

Set the thermostat for 65 in the day and 55 at night. It is what Jimmy suggested.

If you cannot afford that the maybe you should vote Biden out for killing Keystone XL pipeline and stopping oil leases. Joe Biden can be voted out now. Biden can be voted out any day of the week. It is called impeachment. Senate convicts and then the bum is out. Kamal gets wise or it is rinse and repeat time.
