Reply #20: What is our party doing for us about this? [View All]

Thanks chalky,

I know a number of people who are deeply effected by this and the other similar privacy issues. It's terrifying when it happens, partly because the applicant seldom knows why he or she was rejected. The fear of loosing everything just goes on and on.

It's made even worse by the lack of social support by our fellow citizens when things do turn tragic or difficult. The credit card becomes the safety net and ends up entangling the victim in that awful downward spiral. Then the predators move in -bill collectors, tax collectors, loan sharks, and all.

Does anyone have any info on what the Democrats in congress are doing on this issue? I will not accept that this must reduced to a 'right of the employer' argument. There must be a moral/social basis for preventing it.
