This is horrible! Those wicked taxpayers aren’t paying double income taxes, and they’re complaining about the expanding national debt. As a result, poor people will have to freeze, because there isn’t enough federal funding this winter to tend to the general welfare and heat the homes of the good folks of Buncombe County.
But wait! The same article that provided that setup also says:
Jim Holland, director of Buncombe County Health and Human Services support team, said local organizations do have flexibility for people in crisis.
Holland also said Buncombe County will actually have more money overall to help families with their heating bills this year. The county is getting more funding through the Federal Low Income Energy Assistance Program, or LIEAP.
