Yet California began complaining to FERC as early as wide May of 1999 that the big energy companies were manipulating the market for billions wide of dollars. The regulators did nothing. wide Where were Lay and President Bush and their energy industry fellows while California and its citizens were being looted? Blaming the victims, of course: Bush refused to meet with California senators about the problems, and according to Sen. Barbara Boxer, his VP Dick Cheney told them, "You people use too much energy."

I mean, it always makes people feel better that way." Certainly it made him and his private army of hustlers feel a whole lot better where it counts, while Californians footed the bills. And when the Houston Death Star imploded from yet other shell games, wreaking economic devastation on ordinary employees, many of the capos escaped with their shares of the staggering loot.
