GARDEN CITY — Patrick Stein was bitter. Battles with drugs and the failure of his business in the 2008 recession had derailed his life.
He fumed at the federal government for not doing more to help people like him while immigrants flooded in around him in Garden City.
He went to Washington, D.C., seeking a bailout like the banks and auto companies were getting but left humiliated when members of Congress from Kansas ignored him.
