If you can't pay the electric bill, is it a sign of a financial crisis?

[elehhhhna]

The local utilities are threatening to turn off the power at Ft. Sam Houston over a 4 million dollar unpaid bill.

5. I don't know how they sleep at night, really I don't. Five un needed

tax cuts while 45 million Americans don't have health care insurance, local power company threatening to shut off power to an Army base, veterans' health care benefits slashed, No rich child left behind and on and on and on. Shameful, if you ask me, that they would accept these un needed tax cuts without so much as a protest out of their mouths. Greedy pigs! Guess the only thing to do is add some extra to our CPS bills. Thanks for nothing you greedy bastards!

3. Isn't that next to Enron Field?

:rofl:

Oops, they closed. Now renamed "Minute Maid Park" because, as we all know, no man would want to be in it for more than 30 seconds these days...

4. They're in a 26 million dollar 'budget' crisis.

How they got there, well, we spent a TRILLION dollars on the military. I think it is a sign of the national infrastructures continual erosion kinda making an ugly, public appearance.

They are three months behind on rent to CPS, no red flags there! :eyes:
