YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRebecca Michalski of Rainelle, West Virginia opened her February electric bill: $940.08. That is more than her monthly disability check. She keeps one lamp on at night. She took out a loan just to keep the heat from being cut off.
Donald Trump promised to cut electricity bills in half within 18 months. We are now at month 15. Instead of a 50% cut, West Virginians are facing a 24.7% surge in natural gas prices and electricity rates that have nearly doubled since 2015.
Why? Because Trump launched a war that spiked global energy markets and then proposed a budget that eliminates $4 billion from LIHEAP—the only program designed to keep the lights on for people like Rebecca.
This isn't an accident. It's a two-step extraction from the people who trusted him most.
