of individual vs. systemic issues. In my view we need economic/political systems that serve all.
It's not going to be perfect, especially if it's a capitalism/socialist mix. But we saw from about 1950-80 at least that we can use taxation policies to better the lives of more people. If we are able to reign in military expenditures we can have some nice things. We proved a system like Social Security can make a huge difference (if it had been a "lock box" program it would've been even better).
So I tend to stay away from the arguments like "oh romney is worse than clinton". Well, maybe he's a jacka**, but so are a lot of people. Really not the thing to get hung up on. Right wingers will try all day to keep it on an individual level (that is how they effectively split us). The thing is to find political/economic systems that work for the public at large. I think we can do that with democracy (especially if we repeal crap like the Patriot Act), and socialist economic system (progressive socialist if that makes more people comfortable).
I forgot all about that!
That is hilarious.
So...now that they aren't broke anymore...wonder if any of the homes have a car elevator?
paper and food. 
It's gone up to $3.97 a gallon. I haven't used heat in seven year. I live in California so what cold there is I can manage, so I only cook with it. I'm really thinking I don't need to cook. No. I can't afford to eat out much, but cooking without propane could be a creative challenge. 
I've got a toaster oven and 2 slow cookers, if it can't be cooked in those it is not happening. I never really eat out anymore, only fast food around here - yuck, and usually too broke.
NW Pa here and last winter was absolutely awful, and I actually liked winter until then. Luckily house is fairly well insulated, but still had icebergs at three of my four doors. 10'Lx5'Hx5'W was the largest, melted in April, finally. I prefer a much cooler house than most here, but still had heating bills near $200 a month for 6 months natural gas.
I would not have survived without LIHEAP. Could you possibly qualify for LIHEAP?
For California residents:
In order to qualify, you must also have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below 60 percent of the State's Median Income:
Household Size* Maximum Income Level (Per Year)
1 $23,963
2 $31,336
3 $38,709
4 $46,082
5 $53,456
6 $60,829
7 $62,211
8 $63,594
*For households with more than eight people, add $1,382 per additional person.
I hope you may continue to cook and stay warm enough.
