The shutdown also threatens the $4.1 billion Low-Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) that helps families cover the cost of utilities
or heating oil. Susan Haigh and Marc Levy of the Associated Press note
that this program started in 1981 and has enjoyed bipartisan support in
Congress ever since. Trump's budget proposal for next year calls for
cutting the program altogether, but states expected to have funding for
this winter. Almost 6 million households use the program, and as cold
weather sets in, the government has not funded it.
When the Republicans shredded the nation’s social safety net in their
budget reconciliation bill of July, the one they call the “One Big Beautiful
Bill Act,” they timed most of the cuts to take effect after the 2026 midterm
elections. But the shutdown is making clear now, rather than after the
midterms, what the nation will look like without that safety net.</a></label><br><a href="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/115/492/210/570/002/161/original/c61b657e1c202838.jpeg" rel="external">https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/115/492/210/570/002/161/original/c61b657e1c202838.jpeg</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
