Enron did not start gouging the long deregulated (but never before exploited) system until the days after Bush-Cheney were first nominated. And they did so in complete collusion with a dozen or so other Texas energy companies: Dynegy, Reliant, El Paso, Williams, etc. etc. All companies connected to Bush-cheney. Enron was very-very close to Bush-Cheney. They ran campaign operations of of their headquarters and gave them free use of jets, etc. At the same time as Bush was promising to jawbone OPEC to bring down oil prices, his friends in Texas were taking us to the cleaners. They only stopped for awhile during the period that DEmocrats held subpoena powers in the senate. Then they started right back up again. As Bill O'Reilly says, the oil business is a cartel and a monopoly. When they work together they can and do fix energy prices and gouge to their hearts content. Thanks to deregulation there is nothing the government can do about it except due later or install windfall profits taxes later. I strongly recommend we do both.
