Answer to Question 1

The 21st century began with numerous problems that affected families. When the stock market plunged in the dot-com bubble of 2001, many older people had to go back to work because their retirement portfolios shrank by at least 50 percent. Many young adults were laid off from promising high-tech jobs and scurried to find any employment that paid more than a minimum wage. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, federal and state governments funneled billions of dollars into homeland security and the war in Iraq. Health care costs skyrocketed. In mid-2008, the U.S. economy spiraled downward into another, even more severe stock market crash, and, by early 2013, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had cost taxpayers at least 3.7 trillion. As a result, agencies gutted many family programs and services, especially for poor and working-class families.
