Phony baloney

It just gets more ridiculous all the time.
Open up your electric bill and now there is a charge for lost power along the lines from the energy source to your home.
The gas companies charge us a transportation charge for the gas that goes right by here and then is turned around and shipped back to us.
How can they justify that? It is not the consumer’s fault that they lose energy along the way or that they ship the gas away from us and then back.
The bills are hard enough to stomach without all these extra charges added on.
The one that really takes the cake is the customer charge. We get charged to be their customer... what a load... and not of power either.
Politicians need to have a look at the energy sector and stop them from shocking the heck out of us every time a new line appears on the bills.
The bills are supposed to be for energy, not a bunch of phony baloney items.
