I am not knocking the folks who need the assistance, heck I’ll probably need some my self, though I will not qualify. But I think that what the CAA needs to do is use the money to educate the folks who will be calling for the help on ways to better use electricity. Help them winterize their house. Because otherwise, just paying their bill is like throwing money down a hole.

If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat for life… Pay a mans electric bill and he will be warm that month, teach him to winterize his home and conserve energy and he will be warm all winter long.

Another issue is this, I have saw too many times people will jus use all the electricity they please because they know the CAA will pick up the tab. On the other hand other folks conserve, conserve, conserve, and then pay higher taxes to pay the carless mans electric.

Although I agree with you about helping teach people to conserve energy, some things like helping people winterize their homes isn't always an option due to the amount of people receiving assistance who live in apartments. Also, sometimes families like mine who receive benefits like these do also pay taxes and support the system. However, it would be nice to add electricity education to this kind of assistance.

Daily Horoscope for January 4

Aquarius

You will not be satisfied in your work place, but give it some time and things will fall into place. Those in the construction business should get some good news. Aquarian homebodies will find things rather hectic and may develop a headache by the end of the day, so you should avoid negative thinking as much as possible.
