政府取消暖气补贴,东北92岁老妇挨饿受冻http://news.yahoo.com/northeast-states-cut-heating-aid-poor-100438979.html

国内媒体都不敢说的

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mary Power is 92 and worried about surviving another frigid New England winter because deep cuts in federal home heating assistance benefits mean she probably can't afford enough heating oil to stay warm.

鲍马丽今年92岁了,她在担心能不能活过又一个寒冷的东北严冬,因为中央ZF减少了对家庭供暖的补助,她可能无法取暖。

She lives in a drafty trailer in Boston's West Roxbury neighborhood and gets by on $11,148 a year in pension and Social Security benefits. Her heating aid help this year will drop from $1,035 to $685. With rising heating oil prices, it probably will cost her more than $3,000 for enough oil to keep warm unless she turns her thermostat down to 60 degrees, as she plans.

她住在钵子屯罗氏泊西区的一个简易拖车里,养老金和社保加起来每年仅有1万出头,而今年的取暖补助却由1035元降到了685元,加上高涨的能源价格,她今冬光取暖费用可能就要超过3000元,

"I will just have to crawl into bed with the covers over me and stay there," said Power, a widow who worked as a cashier and waitress until she was 80. "I will do what I have to do."

“我只能蜷缩在床上,盖上被子”,鲍说。她现在孤身一人,直到80岁还在做收银员和服务员的工作。“我要尽一切努力。”

Thousands of poor people across the Northeast are bracing for a difficult winter with substantially less home heating aid coming from the federal government.

由于中央ZF削减了取暖补贴,东北地区成千上万的穷人们正在忍受这个寒冬……
