Reply #33: Biden had been one of my faves, until that bankruptcy bill he supported [View All]

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

That bill was an atrocity-- it makes it doubly difficult for beleaguered Americans, seeking Chapter 11 protection due to medical bills (since we don't have basic health insurance) or injuries, to protect themselves and their finances. And it gives carte blanche to banks to charge usurious interest rates to consumers, and for corporations that f*@! up to declare bankruptcy and screw over consumers. Biden even blocked an amendment that would have given assistance to Americans with medical problems to get protection-- Hillary to her credit, despite her arrogance on this issue on other fronts, did support that amendment.

It's a shame, b/c Biden in other ways is among our most appealing candidates. He has experience, and on foreign policy he's unmatched. But he lost my vote and I'm sure that of millions of other Democrats with that arrogant, corporate a**-kissing bankruptcy bill. You reap what you sow, and with the bankruptcy bill, Biden reaped the whirlwind. It's similar to the way Hillary's support of the H1B visa is hitting her very hard-- when you support big, powerful corporations against Americans on the ground who already have it tough, the country rejects you, and that's happened to Biden, otherwise a very smart candidate.
