From 2001 to 2004, after Bush failed to protect the US and 911 happened, in conjunction with the 'dot com' implosion, over 300,000 jobs were lost in the county I live in. The unemployment rate was about 27%. The vacancy rate for office space was 40%. Yes, just like the Great Depression, only it wasn't widely reported because everyone else in the country thought that all of us in Silicon Valley were still having parties and walking streets of gold.
There was no safety net for most of us, and paying for health care was a luxury, coming well down the list after 'excesses' like food, and electricity. Over half a million people had to move away, uprooting families and causing a lot of pain and dislocation. You have a lot of nerve saying we should not depend on Federal Government, when we all pay high taxes. To say that healthcare is best as a greed driven system is ludicrous. The system is broken.
