All utilities in the US should be nationalized and maintained by the US Government that creates all the new $s it needs by spending them into the economy. Unlike state and local governments, and as the sole issuer of the $USD, the US Government has no need of an income to spend.
I agree. Utilities should be nationalized. Everyone deserves water in order to live--therefore, it should be available to all, on a sliding scale based on their income so everyone has water and heat in the winter and electricity to run fans and a/c in the summer.
I understand your sentiment, but there's no need for our currency issuing Government to charge anyone anything. As the sole creator of all US dollars the Government has no use for a profit motive.
