The democrat one is working so well right now. Can’t afford gas? Buy an electric car. Can’t afford your electric bill? Buy solar panels. BTW let’s shut down coal and natural gas plants. Want a new house? Well you have to beat it with electric and not natural gas.

Every Republican is good at pointing out the Current struggles and problems however not one of them has ever and I mean EVER laid out a solid plan or even had a slightest idea of what they will do differently to make these problems go away. As a matter of fact when ideas have been floated in congress of Things that we could do to alleviate some of the pricing stresses we are facing in several different aspects of our economy ( energy, grocery, prescriptions, etc.) the policies/ideas are blocked every single time by republicans voting against them. So they simply like to talk about the e problems that we face and that cause us struggle but they certainly have no clue how to fix them nor do they care too. Let’s face it , our struggles aren’t their struggles so they don’t give a shit . And if our problems are solved them they won’t have anything to create anger and fear and division over. Republicans are pathetic nowadays and are ruining our country. Democrats aren’t anything to write home about either at this point but they are trying a lot harder then the maga trump cult movement . They have taken “politicians always lie” to a whole new level

You know what lowered energy prices? Trumps tax cuts. https://www.inquirer.com/philly/business/energy/pa-puc-electricity-rate-cuts-lower-federal-taxes-20180517.html

Ironically every time democrats pass a bill aimed at lowering costs of something that something goes up in price. Education, healthcare with the ACA, energy policies that put oil and coal plants out of business -that drives up the price. Going all electric, you think a poor person can afford an electric car?

Did you read that article lol it isn’t not at all what you said … and doesn’t reflect republicans reducing the costs of anything’… it says some people also received an increase in rates . SMH… and it also says that the decreases were only bc the state law that required those companies to reduce their rates. Most companies got the tax break and profited for themselves and nobody saw the benefits of them.

They said the water rates increased but didn’t talk about why. And yea, utility rates should go down because the ratepayers pay the federal taxes. It’s called cause and effect.
