    Enron and the collapse of California’s power grid is directly linked to deregulation by George Bush’s regime and a lack of public control and oversight of electricity markets. Corporate media blamed the energy price crisis on the governor, leading to a recall and his replacement by a Republican. Capitalists would love for that to happen in Chicago too; squeeze poor families with energy prices they can’t afford and then blame it on the government to shift the state’s politics to the right.
