People look a gift horse in the mouth........................
Do you think the oil companies would let us know they are raising thier prices & then hold off on the price hike? Hell, no............they'd give it to us in the shorts like they have already. How is gas .79 a gallon in Saudi Arabia, but $2.75 a gallon here? $47 billion profits & $440 million pensions is why.......
Edison lost millions & millions per day during the Enron scandal, so they are simply trying to recoup thier losses. It's a shame that we have to pay for it (instead of crooks like Kenneth Lay & his Texas buddies i.e. Dubya), but what don't we pay for??
