In a statement, recently elected Congressman Frank Guinta, R-Manchester, said: "I will work tirelessly to find places to cut the budget and implement savings; I have outlined many specific proposals during the campaign. I do not feel, however, that LIHEAP's New Hampshire program, which served over 35,000 households last year, is an appropriate place to cut."
Phony is as phony does. The man who campaigned on eliminating the Depts of Education and Energy, who said he saw no need for the Food and Drug Administration, who stated that he doesn't his kids want to know what Social Security is, is complaining over cuts to heating welfare.
Man up, Frank. Judd Gregg had the audacity to vote against LIHEAP on the same day he won Powerball. John E. Sununu found a sneaky way to do it. And your fellow Congressman-elect Charlie Bass voted to abolish LIHEAP altogether.
Your No Gummit supporters expect you to be a heartless fiscal watchdog. But it appears the anatomy you are lacking is a spine.
And if it's true you have had a sudden conversion to Big Gummit, then stop complaining in papers and start getting it done. Like Carol Shea-Porter did for low-income families when your fellow Republican president slashed LIHEAP into tiny little bits.
And if you can't save LIHEAP: can you point the neediest among us to any additional mystery bank accounts that might be lying around so that hardworking Granite Staters won't freeze this winter?
