Hopefully you have excess money, because you will need cushion to withstand Democrat plans to raise the price of heating your home and keeping the lights on. This is especially true in New York, where liberals have achieved total dominance:

Next month alone, Con Ed will spike rates across the city by a staggering 9% as part of the three-year rate plan greenlighted by the state Public Service Commission Thursday.

As for those who heat their homes with gas,

A typical Con Ed customer that uses an average of 100 therms in a month will notice their bill increase a hefty $17.28 — or 8.4% — from next month, per the PSC analysis.

It’ll go up again in January by an average of $14.90 (6.7%) and then $15.61 (6.6%) the following year.

Essentially, the rate hikes mean a current monthly electricity and gas bill of $70 will now double to just over $140 come 2025.

Remember when Barack Obama said electricity prices would “necessarily skyrocket” if people like him were elected? For once he wasn’t lying.

On a tip from Wiggins.
