BK Bill the answer to declining military forces?
I posted this in the long thread regarding the bankruptcy bill's ramifications. Required front line service for the able bodied and desk/support jobs for the not-so-able bodied. AWOL = prison, of course.

Anyone else think this was the REAL motive in ramming it through post haste??

"No need for a draft! All these "deadbeats" who file for BK (especially the ones without current incomes) will be forced to enlist to pay off their debts! Gets rid of the "draft" issue, plays RIGHT INTO the RW's "personal responsibility" meme which the brainwashed sheeple will eat right up"

1. UNREAL!!!! Is that really in the bill?
Do you have the section of the bill where the service in the military is posted?


This is insane. We are all pawns to the GOP.

2. If they eat it up let 'em sign up.
Most people are bankrupt because of medical bills and unexpected life changing events... Like being called to "high paying" active duty from the reserves. More red staters go bankrupt than blue staters so let them enlist and support their monkey boy. If pro-choicers kill their voters through abortion then the pro-lifers do it through war. Of course since red staters have more abortions than blue staters they are killing their voters on both fronts, war and abortion.

4. My mom's theory is that if they make it harder to file for BK
that many more working class people will have few other options than to go into the military. She thinks that's why the Administration is so into outsourcing, too; eventually, the factory workers out of jobs will need to turn to military service, too.

My mom's smart.
