With $1 billion, we could fund the Low Income Home energy Assistance Program, LIHEAP in Vermont for 50 years. This vital program provides home heating and cooling aid for more than 26,000 Vermonters. With a billion dollars, we could help provide $50,000 loans to 20,000 Vermonters who have been impacted by flooding or other natural disasters in the past three years. With a billion dollars, we could support FEMA's disaster relief fund, which is operating in immediate needs funding status, meaning everything's precarious. As I mentioned, Mr. Speaker, show me your values. (03:25–03:39)
