Going Backwards
36 'Democratic' Senators Vote For Credit Card/Banking Industry's
Bankruptcy 'Reform'
...and they wonder why so many Democrats voted for Ralph Nader.
GW Bush and the credit card/banking industry won a huge victory
last
night as 36 'Democrats' joined their Republican 'colleagues' and voted to
pass S-420 - the Bankruptcy bill.
"I've never seen a bill that was so one-sided. The cries,
claims and concerns of vulnerable Americans who have suffered a financial
emergency have been drowned out by the political might of the credit card
industry."
former Dem. Senator Howard M. Metzenbaum now head of Consumer
Federation of America
Consumer groups and unions have been aggressive in opposing it,
contending that the changes in bankruptcy law will take away an important
means of relief for families hit by job losses. Former President Clinton
vetoed last year's similar version, saying it would hurt ordinary people
and working families.
"This is the most anticonsumer piece of legislation that the
Congress is considering," said Edmund Mierzwinski, consumer program
director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group in Washington, D.C.
"Among Senate Democrats who may vote for the bankruptcy bill are
Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.), whose state is home to a
Citigroup Inc. credit card operation in Sioux Falls that employs several
thousand people. Daschle has received $45,000 in political contributions
from Citigroup in the last six years." -- Washington Post 3/11/01
The Associated Press is calling it a big win for Bush and "the
second business-friendly measure to pass both houses of the new Congress".
And they wonder why Ralph Nader got so many Democratic votes?
