155. don't understand how this can work
It is death to small business if it's real, since no one could take the chance of starting a small business with its very real chance of failure and indebt their family forever if their dream doesn't work out.

So OK it will achieve the purpose of killing any start-ups that might have otherwise provided competition to the big boys.

But as far as the much more common medical related bankruptcies, if you're sick and can't work and can't pay the bills, you can't pay the bills no matter how many laws they pass. Do they plan to put cancer patients in debtor's prison?

I just don't see how this law can be anything but a paper tiger unless they want to spark an uprising.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
