People are asking why the cost of utilities is going up, now, right after the elections and after the price of oil drops by about a third. The answer is two fold. First, our elected Republicrat officials know that it's time to pay for the campaign contributions received last year. Secondly, a few years ago the Republicrats allowed for the deregulation of the Utilities Industry at the behest of the leaders of that industry.
Utilities are a natural monopoly.
So the squeeze is on. You get to pay twice as much for that kilowatt-hour as before. The Republicrat politicians of course feel your pain. You must remember its pay back time. And as always its done with your money.
