CHAIN STORES, CORPORATIONS AND ENERGY COMPANIES AND YOU
Is your electric bill going up for no understandable reason? I opened my bill and found a $150 dollar raise. The moment I saw the demand, I knew my family was in trouble. The power conglomerate was now asking close to $500 per month for a bill that not too long ago was $275. $500 for electricity? and a fat monthly raise. I am a retired civil servant and my wife is a p/t kitchen worker in the school. We are also a family of four with one going to college. I figure she will have a lifetime loan. Unless your family has a way to make a commission sale, we are being hit with raises in property taxes, energy, food, insurance and our customary payments such as mortgages which will now face a deletion of the interest deduction. Where is all this money going to come from? If we as consumers become tapped out paying others we will not be able to spend and there is your double dip. So I called the electric company on the phone attempting to make a payment arrangement with interest. Arrogance of Power. The lady took credit for "allowing me to speak", thanks I thought I already had the right. They assured me that if I was short they would not sue me but shut off my power. In a Recession that may get worse. That is a nice how do you do. It reaffirms the way we are treated in this country by big firms. I actually had a big chain appliance store walk away from fixing my washing machine. This is the first time in American Industry that there is a gruff attitude toward consumers, it has been about two years.
