I would suggest to Mr. Bush that if you want to see someone who is isolated economically, just take a look at somebody who is unemployed. Then you are going to understand what true isolation is, where you are bereft of any capacity to pay your bills, to meet your obligations, to know that you will have healthcare, to be able to take care of your elderly parents, to have some semblance of dignity. The true economic isolate in this country is the person who is unemployed.
