1. Who wants IEC's debt load?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (02.18.15)
Thanks to mismanagement and the largest, greediest, most selfish union in the country - IEC has run up a whopping 70 billion shekel debt. My great-grand children are still going to be paying this off while the overpaid fat-cat electric company workers continue to suck the money out of our pockets. It's high time to cancel their free electricity and roll back most of the more disgustingly high overpaid salaries. If they don't like it then I say fire the ones who don't agree. If necessary fire them all and bring in the army to run the IEC as a new management is appointed and the unemployed fatcats get hired back at reasonable rates. In fact I'll be overly generous - give them a 3% discount on their monthly bill.
2. Free enterprise is always better!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.18.15)
History proves that free enterprise states are prosperous and happy. Government controlled states are miserable and poor. Selling off government assets is almost always a good thing. The first thing Israel's new free enterprise companies should do is end all services to fictional "Palestine". Enough lunacy of supporting our foes. No other state, in human history, has ever done anything so dumb and self destructive.
3. Sold - to the politicians' fat cat friends

Prepare for more of the price rises, nepotism and corruption - unless we stop this nasty little government soon and replace it with people who care just a little about the people than themselves.
