Talk to the folks in the tech industry who have lost jobs over the past 4 years and how hard it is to find one - a great many o fthe jobs have gone overseas to India (ever called Dell for support??). Also, the rate of pay in the tech industry has dropped anywhere from 30 - 50%. Personally I have been layed off 3 times in the last 4 years and my income has dropped 50% - I am now taking temp jobs to make ends meet. I have lost my house and am driving a car that is 14 years old with almost 220,000 miles on it because health care, a roof over my head, and food are more important. Ask me if "W" has made my life bettter?? Oh yeah - I was Dx'ed back in November and if I lose my health care coverage (I am currently on COBRA) what am I supposed to do about getting help - I make to much to be covered under the "drug" plan besides I am only 41. What about Dr visits, physical therapy, etc? Don't even get me started on the other subjects!!!
