Maybe things turn around during the Reagan years when congress went republican for the first time in 40 years. It’s no surprise that the states which once benefited from this are clamboring for the good old days. I wish there were more information on this. For example, only a few years ago Kerry, Kennedy and other in the northeast pushed though a bill (Clinton signed) which <a href="http://kerry.senate.gov/ban…">used federal funds for an oil reserve specifically for the northeast.</a>
Now on the surface this sounds like a good idea, he talks about helping the elderly pay for fuel… But meanwhile in the midwest where it is MUCH colder, there were no such federal funds. Elderly and young couples with familys ended up paying huge heating bills. My brother paid $400/month to heat a well-insulated 3 bedroom house that winter, while Kerry, Soros and Kennedy benefited from the federal fuel reserve.

(As Ron knows, it gets to -25C in parts of the midwest nearly every winter. Such temperatures nearly destroyed a remote weather station I put together for the university.)
