Comment what is your return on investment? (Score 3, Interesting) 189

in NYC my electric bill is around $90 every month. breaks down to $25 for the electricity at $.095 per kilowatt hour, $55 for the wiring charge and the rest taxes and fees.

why spend $1000 to save $5 a month in electricity costs? because if i reduce my usage by 20%, that's $5 whole dollars a month in savings

amnesty for illegals is a constitutional power to overturn a criminal conviction. for ACA, read the law. most of them are vague enough to give the president a lot of leeway. and go read your own link. unfunded mandates are laws passed by congress

maybe you should go back to high school for some remedial social studies?

because EO's have to follow the law and president's can't write them at will. even if Obama did write one like that there would be no funding for it since all funding bills originate in the House of Representatives and every program has to be funded by law. he can't just take a pot of money and spend it as he sees fit. every program and line item in the budget has to be approved by both houses of congress
