“Thanks. I’ll mention this to my husband. He’s a fix-it man.”

I’ve been thinking through my solution and am not sure it would work, unless you wanted all your clothes to be washed in the hottest water your water heater puts out. Now, if your washer has both a cold and a hot water input then I would just switch the hoses and remember that when you set it on cold you will actually get hot and vice versa.

Between TARP and the “Stimulus”, it’s $1.5 trillion+.

Divide by 150 million adult citizens, and you could cut a check for $10,000 cash to each adult citizen.

Or, per citizen, including children, you could cut a check for $ 6,000 each. That would be $30,000 for a family of five.

But instead we have these politicians angling for control. Sick, Evil people.

My menfolk say a person could put both the hot and cold into a y and hook it up to the machine, capping off the second water intake on the machine. That way, there would be warm water all the time. Sound right?

He’s smarter than I am. That is a simpler solution, although it would only let you have warm water for everything.

What I was trying to get at is the fact that they want to regulate how we use the electricty. That takes our freedom to choose away. If you can afford to use it they way you want, that is your right. If you can’t afford it, you will adjust accordingly. The governments lack of willingness to improve our electricy producers, such as nuclear, is not our fault but they are attempting to make look so.
