I try to minimize any changes in my electric bills. So I close shades and curtains to block out the sun and keep my thermostat at 77* in the summer. I run the dishwasher in the late evening and do laundry in the mornings.

I'm 86 years old and need the a/c on. Have it set so it is 78 in my apartment. Can't get out in the heat.

I keep the blinds/drapes pulled. Turn up the AC a few notches during the day while at work. Small steps to help the utility bill.

Everyone should look up operation Popeye that has to do with the weather.

Jack L

Don`t pick on Popeye, I watched him on TV every Saturday morning when I was a kid

Jennifer M

Jack L

I try to watch the AC usage to keep the electric bill as low as possible

No, because I have always been careful not to waste our natural resources.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.
