Bankruptcy Bill

[icared2]

Well it passed. Every Democratic senator that voted for it "died" today. I'm very close to becoming an independent. How any of those 19 could go along with the Bush crime family is beyond me. This piece of legislation will rip the economic fabric of this country and ruin families.

1. I can tell you why biden did

mbna is his largest contributor

one surprise, lieberman voted against it

Clinton was a no show, probably because of Bill Clinton, but she should have voted on this one

2. And don't forget-- companies can still declare it

So, once again, the people get screwed and the corporations make out like bandits-- which is what they are, so why not??

Don't the priorities seem a tad... skewed?????

:nuke:

7. MBNA contributed $142,000 to Biden ...

According to Sam Seder on the Randi Rhodes Show yesterday.

3. The people need to clean house.....

...and I mean both sides of the isle but until the people on both sides see that they are being divided and conquered by those very same greedos who sit in DC nothing will change.

We're busy fighting each other and they laugh all the way to the bank, ...literally. Am I the only one that feels this?

5. this is so true but what will it take for a revolution of the common

citizen to start???

8. *sigh*

I really don't know. It would take everyone working together and I don't know if that is possible.

11. Getting the "common citizen" to give a shit would be a start.

4. this is just the begining

As I said in another thread earlier today, wrap your head around this one



Joe Six Pack (yes will use every stereotype) gets in trouble, and joe has guns. What happens when Joe finds out that he no longer can declare this bankrupcy and all of a sudden he's indentured for life to MBNA?

What is more, what happens when he realizes that he has nothing else to loose?

What happens when many of his friends have the same experience?

But Joe voted for George... but Joe will say, I did not vote for this... and truly he did not... and truly that does not matter at that point for Joe will only be able to think of them dirty politicians in Washington who want to ruin him and his friends in middle america.

What happens when it finally dawns on him that this has been class warfare all along, and he has been used? Remember joe has a gun.

Folks what they did today was truly plant the seed of their own destruction, this will innevitably lead to a higher misery index. We are already in the low sixties... we don't have far to go, if you get my drift, before massive social problems begin.

Ah yes the old stand by applies today.... "Those who refuse to learn from History (Hoover) are condemened to repeat it." And they have set the seeds for a similar crisis to the 1929 Crash... I wonder if we will be able to save their behinds ONCE AGAIN?

6. Crime rates will rise.

This kind of thing drives up violent and nonviolent crime as people run out of options and start to do crazy things to survive and/or "get even". The guy who killed the Chicago judge's husband and mother is a timely example.

Screwing the lower and middle classes also foments revolution. (See Russia.)
