Unemployment rates are a lot lower than utility rates. Chances of finding a job in the near future 2%, Chances of finding an increase in your Utility bill in the near future 99 9/10%> Where are those LEADERS that we voted for? At Home, worrying about people not being allowed to drive on the beach, or second hand tobacco smoke, or Desperate house wives trying to survive, or don't smoke in public places, or Don't text and drive, WE NEED FINANCIAL HELP and Less BS...
