The members of Congress left Washington just before Thanksgiving and won’t be seen again until mid-December. But they left a few vital measures behind. They headed home without approving any money to help poor Americans pay their heating bills this winter. Although they had earlier agreed to allocate up to $2 billion in home heating subsidies, they failed to pass the bill that included that money when push came to shove. They also failed to come up with the additional $3 billion that is needed to cover the huge price increases in various fuels since Hurricane Katrina.
So…is it time to read the Randy Cunningham story again?
