John, I will check but I'm afraid you have been unfair to Dick... Are the numbers you cited prior to 09/11 and all its consequences, if yes, unfair, you shouldn't use statistics and their evolutions during President Bush's presidency pretending that just the policies engaged were responsible.
If you turn the clocks back and erase 09/11, what would be these statistics about poverty and uninsured, what part of the budget could have been spent on these issues, we will never know.
John you were so far one of my best student but I give you an E on this homework. I'm not satisfied.
