Polytx/your money

Are you being robbed? Haven't you had the sneaking feeling that your cellphone company was padding your bill? Come on. How could anyone know they weren't defrauding customers of millions of dollars each billing circuit? Take Verizon as an example. Nothing like the old Bell system where you automatically received a monthly billing of every call you made long distance. Most businesses give you a billing receipt for every purchase when you pay at checkout. Verizon only gives you a total and, like Jimmy Carter, says "Trust me." There's no way to check their accuracy except by paying them even more money to do what other businesses do as part of your purchase. Congress needs to have hearings on the charges made by all cell companies, a check to learn if Americans are being defrauded to death, and a law that makes cell companies itemize calls. ***

Economic gurus have our nation's moms and pops writhing in pain. Colleges and Universities are going to cost $50,000 a year when 'Jimmy' gets that age! Better start saving now, they say. Get a special savings account for colleges. Save till it hurts. But the Houston CHRONICLE, Tues., July 4th, 2006, pB3 says: "Houston Community College rally backs tuition breaks for illegal immigrants." Say, WHATTTTT? This charade performed by "...20 young people" at HCC, is more of the Wash. DC same, where criminal illegals paraded with Mexican flags to protest our "girly guys" Senate and House that denied them amnesty. Soooo, how cum dese folk get free eds from HCC, and where does HCC's funding and liberal giveaways come from with your tax dollars? ***
