"Perhaps you should consider multi-person households. I.E. that may have been 1.6 million families that filed for bankruptcy, not 1.6 million individuals."
I've forgotten the precise numbers, but it was something like 38% single women filing for bankruptcy, 36% married couples filing, and the rest filing were single men and corporations (in the tiny minority).
So no, *not* 1.6 million families filed, but 1.6 million total bankruptcy filings altogether in sum.
You notice I said households. It was you who tried to cloud matters by per capita, as if children filed for bankruptcy.
This is as bad as it has ever been.
