ANOTHER INEXPLICABLE VOTE OF HILLARY CLINTON - SUPPORT OF HARSH BANKRUPTCY REFORM ACT OF 2005

I wrote yesterday why I cannot support Sen. Hillary Clinton. Did I mention her vote on reforming the bankruptcy bill, which had the harshest effect on individuals and couples. The purpose of the bankruptcy laws is to give debtors a fresh start, with the realization that people from time to time get into financial difficulties from which they cannot emerge on their own.

The credit card companies and the banks pressured the Republicans to adopt a harsh bankruptcy "reform" bill that passed in 2005 and was signed into law by George Bush. Many Democrats in both the Senate and House rejected the bill because it tightened the screws on the moms and pops but allowed corporate debtors to proceed unaffected. However, Hillary Clinton was one of the Democrats who voted yes on the bill. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!
