This. Both sides of the political spectrum are somewhat correct in their "arguments", but for the wrong reasons. Gas and water (re: the water issues rampant throughout the southwest USA) are two heavily subsidized utilities that the public hasn't been able to either a) feel the impact of, nor b) understand the true extend of the subsidization. Thus when supply-side issues overwhelm the subsidies, they are mad.
