Thank you, Deregulation
Rick Perry and his cronies talked the gullible in Texas into deregulating electricity.
“You’ll save like maybe a million dollars with competition,” they told us. “Your electricity will be brighter and more cheerful,” they said.
Instead, power supply has fallen into disrepair, and the consumer hasn’t saved a dime. It took my Momma two weeks to get power after the last hurricane. Hell, they got power into third world countries quicker than that.
Now we’re told that back-to-school day may cause the grid to fail …. again.
Yeah, you folks from foreign states: Elect Rick Perry and your child will be able to study by candlelight, just like Abe Lincoln.
