I can't stand paying any bill but I think that the electric, oil, and water bills should be payed by the government. You can't rent a house to someone with no heat, electricity or hot water so it is a neccessity. Why should we have to pay for it?

Then on top of it you can't just shop around for a water or electric company. There is only one and no matter what they charge you have no choice. It is ridiculous and highway robbery. I have replaced almost every single appliance in my home with energystar rated stuff and yet my electric bill keeps going up and up and up. Funny how the electric company doesn't ever lose profits.
Okay- sorry for my rant but it really annoys me.
