In my lifetime, I've screamed loud and clear to unhearing ears. My state's last Governor is Bush's pal Tom Ridge. Now all can see what he did to our state and federal programs for the low-income families, the disabled, and the senior citizens. He wiped out the middle-class, let the HMO's take over so much that our best doctors are leaving due to insurance rates, and has made it impossible for the lowest incomed people to receive proper medical care and prescription drugs. Seventy percent of us make well below a living wage for our state, which is $12.90 per hour. Our homeless in the cities and suburbs has tripled and there's no acknowledgement that this exists. Out of sight, out of mind is his MO.
