Insanity and destruction. Tyranny and treason.

More ‘reparations’ by smash-and-grab looting. Like Pigford.

It seems that all the hate filled DC institutions can now all bypass this worthless and ignorant Congress and make laws and policies and taxes just like the worthless obamanbiton of America’s desolation does. DC is a scum hole of evil and corrupt politicians and power mad bureaucrats.

Did I miss something or wouldn’t Congress have to approve the spending for such wealth transfer schemes? Where the hell is Congress? We gave the GOP a majority in both houses and they do nothing while Lord Obama spends the taxpayers money without any authorization.

Yup. Worked for an electric company some time back.

Posted rate was 10.5c "all in." (with apologies to BellSouth Mobility DCS/Cricket Wireless *lol*)

Rate was locked for five years. Nice deal, considering that the other electric companies only posted the the cost of the electricity itself, leaving them free to raise the transmission rate every time the contract went up for renewal. Cue the misleading "lowest rate in Texas" ads, with rates below 9.5 cents.

In most of Texas, power companies have to compete (gasp!) to gain your business. Normally, the advertisements show the rate you pay for the electricity itself. You still have to pay to actually get it delivered to you. That cost is in the fine print, and is almost never shown. After all is said and done, I've seen some people pay >17c/kWh, on a plan that advertised "7.5c/kWh."

If you were month-to-month, the power company could raise your transmission rate every month. Not good.
