Brownwood: Bankruptcy Bill Said to Hit Poorest Americans Hardest

Republicans control the house, the senate, & the whitehouse. this is exactly the reason we are Independent Texans who split our ticket when we vote. This is what happens when the "checks and balances" get out of kelter !
But just remember it's the "condoms and cucumbers" that matter most ! By the way, both of Brownwoods Republican Senators voted in favor of this legislation....follow the money !

    Dallas Morning News Letter to the editor

    No-compassion GOP
    Re: "Senate OKs measure to toughen bankruptcy," yesterday's news story.
    The "compassionate conservative" Republicans again show that compassion only extends to the corporate world. They ignore the large percentage of bankruptcies filed by people who lost their jobs or had huge medical bills.
    As they also left the loophole that allows rich people to avoid their bills, I'm left wondering where the compassion is.
