The Collapse of the Middle Class 

This is a sad state of affairs. Better insulation would help. Perhaps a few government grants in the research of insulation materials are in order.

people had 9 home loans in five states .bank took back million of home back .people took out home loan on dead people

people say they made $400,000 a year to get the home loan

these people that can't heat their homes are acting too helplessly, they need to do something about it- here in Pa. we HEAT WITH WOOD AND COAL to save money on heating costs ! It is now 2010 and I heat my home for 1 full year on 2 tons of coal, which costs me $185/ton. The is a heating bill per year of only $370 what is wrong with these so-called "rural" folks of Vermont ? don't they know how to cut down trees and split wood and heat their homes ? here we would call them CRY BABIES
