Senate dems made a last ditch effort to protect consumers with ammendments
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 04:13 AM by JohnnyRingo
in "Bankruptcy reform" law.

The Senate Dems put up a good fight to add ammendments to the bankruptcy reform bill that protected working class people, but were shot down by "the old up or down vote" trick:

Scan the list of "rejected" ammendments to view the true spirit of the bill:

Overview and summary (Written by a Bankruptcy atty, with advice to consumers):

Everything else you wanted to know (But were too afraid to look) from "Bankruptcy Reform News":

But how are they going to protect "The investor class" in the coming deluge of corporate bankruptcies? (We know it's in there):

1. thank you great info
The republicans use thier own base to get thier dream of being above the laws that made America.There are plenty of working class republicans that will be effected.
The minimum wage person from the credit card company that has to hound people all day on the phone will be hounded when they are replaced.
