"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
So we win Social Security but lose bankruptcy. Is that victory? Winning Social Security only leaves us where we were. It doesn't make anything better. Our side held the line against a deadly serious assault, and then we caved on the principle of human dignity. I'm disgusted, and joining the faction against these craven 'democrats' being elected to anything again, ever. Ok, well, at least president.
We're becoming a banana republic right before my eyes. Nothing made it out of debate into the press. Theoretically, it's possible to get yourself into a debt that it's impossible to work off under this bill. More likely, those who declare bankruptcy will find their economic growth severely stunted, in the service of usurious creditors.
It's ironic that those who trumpet the ownership society are paving the way to a debtor nation. posted by David at 3/08/2005 11:08:00 PM ::
