I knew it would be high--but natural gas bill still has me ticked.

Paying twice as much for the same period last year has got me wondering if this isn't California all over again. Yes, we have had a cold snap, but this is ridiculous. We were set up for this 3 months ago, so never mind if there really is a shortage--let the market work its magic. We've been punk'd by the Pukes and for the Democrats--they are too busy wringing their hands over their lack of power. No, I am not sure anything can be done--but has anyone suggested rationing or something similar? What good is government if they can't protect us from this type of economic calamity?
