Protecting The Consumer Isn't Working
This price is going up....that price will soon see an increase ....and don't forget to order a years supply of important household necessities because there may be a shortage just when you need it the most.
Every time we turn around we see price increases to things we do and items we use on a daily basis.
If it isn't increases in bridge tolls or New York State Thruway fees we are presently witnessing as I had projected months ago increases in our viewing costs for cable
TV and Internet.
You read it right here folks, told ya the cable TV standoffs definitely would threaten our viewing costs.
Folks are demanding that we need to get a grasp of reality.
With the economic challenges we now face we just can't have increases in taxes and spending and many folks also cannot afford increases in electrical rates, heating costs and shortages in coal and wood pellets for pellet stoves.
As we noted several weeks ago some 80 percent of wood burning stoves and fireplace inserts are going to be banned by the EPA especially effecting home in outlying rural areas and lets remember not everyone can afford the continually rising fuel oil prices.
The coal industry continues to receive more criticism from Washington, fining coal mine operators who violate water pollution and although there should be no water pollution from any source consumers can see increased prices for heating their home with coal.
Adding more hurt for consumers is the region's major utilities saying there will be sharp increases in customer bill's in coming weeks.
Now the newest threat to home owners who use pellet stoves is that suppliers have been struggling with a pellet shortage because of the high demand in the extreme cold weather and some retailers are limiting customers or are selling only to local customers who have bought pellet stores and pellets in the past. Suppliers are urging customers to place advance pre-paid orders to eliminate situations like this.
You got to wonder how the average Joe is going to survive all this and it just goes to prove that accountability and the need to protect the consumer (and taxpayer) just isn't working.
