1. The Rich Hill signing: why not? This amounts to a low-cost (almost no-cost) look at a lefty starting pitcher who had success as recently as 2007 before experiencing control issues and shoulder problems.

Fewer monthly bills - higher taxes.?

Is it time to make a change in our system of doing some kinds of business?

Each month, every home owner and ever apartment dweller receives a bill for his use of electricity and water and for the cost of some type of heating fuel, ( natural gas, oil, coal, butane or any other form of heating fuel.) This amounts to a tremendous effort in accounting, metering, paper handling and printing, mailing, postage and so forth... it also often results in what I believe is the very pointless necessity on the part of our utility companies to shut off services for those people who are late payers or deadbeats. The bottom line is that our current system produces a great deal of possibly wasted effort and dollars.

Suppose we made a change and demanded "FREE" utilities for individuals -- shifting the cost to taxes or onto the shoulders of business? Taxes would go up certainly & business would simply raise the price of their goods but wouldn't we little people gain something in the long run?

Fewer monthly bills - higher taxes - more corruption - another poorly run government service = AMTRAK, ticket prices have only gone up. The government has proven time and again it's inefficient when money or budgets are involved. Social Security runs a profit yearly & should have plenty of $$ to pay baby boomer retirement benefits. However, the government takes this profit and spends it on other programs that can't operate under their already enormous budget.

It'll be cold dinners in dark rooms, if the federal government gains total control over utilities.
