Heating costs to jump over 20%

The "regulation for thee, not for me" crowd has long propagated a Big Lie: According to them, deregulation lowers costs.

This story again proves what a lie that is - but they keep repeating it in the hopes people won't be fooled.

In the Midwest, the price of heating oil is expected to soar 29% this winter. The price of natural gas is expected to jump 23%.

Weird. I sure don't know many people who make 23 to 29% more money than they did last year.

And so, the handouts to Big Business permitted by regulators who won't regulate continue.
