I recently went through the blowing cold air thing with my heat pump. It wouldn't come one. A bit of diagnostics and an order from Amazon of a dual-run starting capacitor and I was back in (warm) business. Those things happen with a 12 year old system. But depending on someone else to provide the heat juice and then having no heat juice is scary.
And gooberment. Sheesh. I always challenge those who think more government is the answer to point out one. single. thing. the government does well and efficiently, and better than private enterprise. Post office? (Snicker!) Best military in the world? (Only someone who's never been in the military would say the military does things well and efficiently.) Foreign affairs? (I laugh!) Land management? (You're kidding, right?) Anything. And to put our so-called "health care" in their hands is even scarier than having not heat.
Someone pointed out to me that if you really look at the US budget, the Federal government is just a massive insurance conglomerate with a large standing army :)
