There always has to be at least one ass ready to turn a question about
a new furnace into a political attack. For your information Tony, the
US has plenty of programs to provide heat, food and shelter to those
unable to provide it for themselves. We tend not to like folks like
you though, who expect welfare checks to come in the mail from a
socialist government for everyone. The money the govt sends out has to
come from somewhere, but then you probably don't have a job so you
don't care about paying for socialist programs with taxes.
