Joe Biden ran for president on a promise that he was going to rebuild the middle class by pulling people out of poverty. So far in his illegitimate presidency the only thing he’s done for working families is make it so everything costs more. Biden’s plan is to apparently drive up the price of everything and then *POOF* poor people are in the middle class. Part of that plan sees the heating bills of all Americans going up 54% this winter.
Thanks to Biden’s policies and sheer incompetence, inflation is surging and the price of everything from food to gas to housing is through the roof. But hey, at least Americans aren’t getting screwed on their utilities bills, right?
Maybe not as The AP reports:
With prices surging worldwide for heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, the U.S. government said Wednesday it expects households to see their heating bills jump as much as 54% compared to last winter.
F*cking seriously?
Nearly half the homes in the U.S. use natural gas for heat, and they could pay an average $746 this winter, 30% more than a year ago. Those in the Midwest could get particularly pinched, with bills up an estimated 49%, and this could be the most expensive winter for natural-gas heated homes since 2008-2009.
The second-most used heating source for homes is electricity, making up 41% of the country, and those households could see a more modest 6% increase to $1,268. Homes using heating oil, which make up 4% of the country, could see a 43% increase — more than $500 — to $1,734. The sharpest increases are likely for homes that use propane, which account for 5% of U.S. households.
And because of global warming (somehow):
This winter is forecast to be slightly colder across the country than last year. That means people will likely be burning more fuel to keep warm, on top of paying more for each bit of it. If the winter ends up being even colder than forecast, heating bills could be higher than estimated, and vice-versa.
In reality, people are going to paying more than 54% more to heat their houses this year.
I live in sunny Southern California and don’t need to run the heat that much during the winter, but I still use gas for cooking and hot water. I live less than 20 miles away from a natural gas plant that doesn’t need to be transported to my house by anything other than existing pipes. Already, my gas bill is double what it was a year ago. WTF?
Conventional wisdom says you pull people out of poverty by putting more money in their pockets. Everything Biden is doing is taking money out of people’s pockets. Rich people can afford double the bills but poor people who were barely getting by before this shit cannot.
And the thing is, a lot of these poor bastards voted for Joe Biden because he promised he would lift them out of poverty. Hell some of them even voted for Biden multiple times.
Alright, let’s put on the tin foil hat and figure out what’s really going on here: It’s no secret that Biden would love to cancel Christmas to allegedly get COVID-19 under control but he knows how widely unpopular that would be. Instead, he’s making everything so unaffordable to create a def facto Christmas cancelation. If people can’t afford presents, food, or travel, there won’t be much family celebration going on this year.
