Reply #5: The bankruptcy travesty went through with the approval of our Vice President-elect.

It should be noted that Senator Clinton voted for the version in 2001 that passed the Senate only. She claimed it had been watered down from the anti-consumer lollapalooza that was first introduced. When the vote came up in 2005 she voiced opposition to it but did not vote because hubby Bill was having heart surgery on the day of the vote.

Many of our Democratic Congresspeople have been in collusion with the Bushies on this, but now want to paint themselves as tough on bad banking practices. Good luck. It's just more of the same: lobbying money enabling legislation that goes against the people.
