Free Market

The de-regulation and free market faith based pricing sure works dandy! Via salon.com.

"In 2002, Texas sweepingly deregulated its electricity market. Today, a page one story in the Wall Street Journal by Rebecca Smith informs us that citizens of Texas are paying some of the highest electricity rates in the United States."

"Power costs are rising in the rest of the U.S., but everything is bigger in Texas: On a hot day in May, wholesale prices rose briefly to more than $4 a kilowatt hour -- about 40 times the national average."

. . . is there anything about conservative economic policy/Reaganomics that's NOT bullsheeet?
