Wednesday’s open line


One of the things that President Barack Obama talked about in the midsts of trying to push the economic stimulus package through Congress was the weatherizing of homes.

Hey, I have a home. And there’s weather here!

Where can I sign up to get my very modest, affordable, barely middle-class house weatherized? Or am just one of the lucky taxpayers who gets to pay for someone else’s house to get a tune-up and a refinanced mortgage, courtesy of the public purse, while saving up for a new back door?

Are you fearing the squeeze like me? Let us know your thoughts on today’s open line.
