Credit Card Issuer Defense Act of 2005

This is not good news. The bankruptcy "reform" bill passed the House yesterday. Some very disappointing votes among the New York House delegation. See them at Congress.org.

Want to know why this bill is SO BAD? Good story at GothamGazette.com.

And this was especially disappointing: One New York City Democrat whipping votes to ensure passage.

great, capitalism sucks, I know that already.

Meanwhile, writing my rep (Menendez from NJ) isn't going to do me any damn good, hes about to be promoted to senator unless unenough white people balk at his hispanic last name.

even if he loses, he'll be back to his feifdom where he gets 85% of the vote.

It's one thing to bow to your corporate masters, but it's quite another to whore yourself so thoroughly that you actually WHIP votes to ensure this bill's passage. What the hell was he thinking?
