9:23Now PlayingTrump Called Heating Aid ‘Wasteful’—Now 6 Million Families May Pay the Price
YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“We can’t keep paying for all these handouts.”
That’s the line from Trump, Fox News, and Republican politicians every time they go after the social safety net.
One of the “handouts” they’ve tried to kill is LIHEAP — the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program — which helps low‑income families, seniors, and disabled people keep the heat on in winter.
In this video, I break down:
• How LIHEAP actually works
• What Trump’s FY2026 budget tries to do to it
• How the administration then sabotaged the program with HHS staff layoffs
• Why more than 6 million households could face delays or lose critical help
This isn’t about “waste.” It’s about punishing poor and working‑class people while billionaires keep their tax cuts.
