Well, the Terri Schiavo bill-regardless of what you think about its merits -- was at least bold. Then there was the bankruptcy bill. Good stuff, though hardly the legislation that will get voters running to the polls next election.

Uh, the bankruptcy bill was not "good stuff". Anyone who thinks it was is not really interested in winning elections in the future.

It just looks like a gift to credit card companies who think they can't make enough money charging poor people 35% interest. People's typical impression of what Republicans stand for, and all that.

35% interest??????

Perhaps it's time to apply for a DIFFERENT credit card? I'm pretty sure the Republicans aren't responsible for YOU choosing a credit card that charges 35% interest!!!!! lol

I think the bankruptcy bill is good. I've seen enough of the people who believe they can just charge up credit cards, 35% fee or not, and walk away clean. Please tell me of a credit card company that charges 35% interest, UNLESS the card holder has consistently blown off payments or is consistently late or under paying. There is federal law against it. On the other hand.. you AGREE to the terms and its there in bold print. You don't HAVE to take a credit card. Not only should you not be able to sue, but if you don't pay your bill, you should have to do community service hours cleaning up the highways at a minimum wage to pay for all the tax payers who are picking up the tab for the "spend and run" losers out there.
