As the first frigid weather of autumn chills the Northeast, many people are faced with a tough decision: deal with the surging costs of heating their homes or live without it.

Home heating prices are skyrocketing yet again this winter, up 18% nationwide on top of last year’s 17% spike, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association . Charmaine Johnson works in the call center at Philadelphia’s Heater Hotline, part of a non-profit that assists low-income families with their heating systems and bills. Johnson, 63, can relate to the concerns she’s hearing all day. She, too, is struggling to afford her heating bills.

To me that’s not unbearable yet,” Wiseley said, adding that he’ll turn the heat on when his “teeth chatter.” The 67-year-old is retired, living month-to-month on Social Security benefits. He lost his wife last year, and his medical bills are adding to the long list of expenses. “You can’t go food shopping and get oil. It’s one or the other,” he said. Wiseley believes he’ll run out of heating oil at some point this winter. He’s not sure what he’ll do when that happens.

Time to cut down trees and burn it in their fireplaces and wood stoves. Or get a big metal trash can in the backyard and burn stuff. It doesn’t sound green but it sounds warm.

Biden says just buy solar panels. Problem solved.

the city of Mahabad with heavy artillery and is shooting at the houses of innocent people! The Islamic Republic is slaughtering innocent people! Be the voice of the people of Mahabad! MahsaAmini IranRevolution

We don’t want too. Why won’t democrats listen. Stop this green agenda. It’s freezing us to death. Democrat leaders won’t have to worry but we the real people do.

“I’m Joe Biden and I did this!!”

Insurance won’t pay if pipes freeze and rupture unless people provide proof the structure was adequately heated. Didn’t have thes problems 2 years ago… when we were energy independent and before Joe Inflation took over.

Thank God after a few more years of global warming this type of madness will end and no one will need to worry about heating costs.

Some natural gas or diesel would work wonders for heating their houses. GreenEnergy doesn't cut it in the real world. oilandgas

Why is he even wearing SHORTS if its cold af?

Most of . viewers backed the Uncle Joe being elected along with a democrat controlled congress, up until the mid-terms. You made your bed go lay in it. But for the other half of the country that didn't vote for Biden and don't support his BS policies ... FUB!

Why haven't Joe Biden and kamala Harris been charged with conspiracy to commit murder? They opened the southern border to allow million of lbs of drugs into our country, to kill 250,000+ Americans in the last two years. Deaths will increase in 2022-2024

Won’t be heating the house unless the temp drops below 30° and I’ll be cutting down groceries and X-mas shopping as well… thanks to the basement dummy and his horrendous policies. 🖕

Yes but the priority is Hunter Biden's laptop apparently

Shouldn’t they be using electric to heat the house Duh… let’s save the earth and be extinct.

“I did that” - Joe Biden

Sadly this is a situation that is being faced around the world.

Personally, I think the best advice is to turn off the heat! Use neighbors heat to warm your home. In Wisconsin, it helps to pay for your groceries and not use your heater when it's cold out. I do it every year.

and why are we helping Ukraine more than our own people. how much money will we provide them.

Let’s go Biden!

Remember when the Democrats said ‘if you can’t afford food, ‘eat Chef Boyardee’…..aaaaahhh. Good times.

Joe Biden’s America

And food prices.

I would say most Americans outside of millionaires or billionaires

Uhhhhh that’s Biden’s Fault.

look at my boobs😘

Biden’s America!

Have the Republicans announced what they plan to do to help Americans stay warm this winter?
