Don't be in such a hurry to blame moderate Democrats.

Cost of living during the past three years shot up far more than 15% due to exploding energy costs. Many of my fellow citizens of this state lost their jobs and their businesses due to this "crisis." The value of my $200K house in 1997 (all 1,700 square feet of it, pathetically) shot up to $400,000 today.

Of course the state is going to give them a raise for the simple reason their energy bills exploded by 400-600% and I don't know jack schit about building a freeway.

Do you continue to not accept the macro-economic hazards of manipulating energy markets?

Now, what kind of credence am I supposed to give you after you quote the author using 15% and "big fat" in the same sentence?
