Dem's, Are you happy that Joe Biden was instrumental in enacting the latest bankruptcy laws?

Question

that condemn many Americans to lives of slavery, all to please Corporate power?

Did he vote for the latest round of war-making too, I wonder?

Answer 1

No. However, Obama voted against it and your characterization of it as condemning Americans to slavery is just hyperbole.

Answer 2

You mean the Joe Biden that is in the pocket of credit card companies - the Joe Biden that couldn't get elected twice - - the one who didn't get any delegates this time around ?  What a loser.

Answer 3

No one is perfect

MNBA, the largest employer in DE wanted these "reforms," so in a sense  Biden was representing his constituents.

I recall reading about this back in Jan when Biden was still running for Pres. It seems that he got a few provisions into this bill that did provide some relief for very low income consumers. I am not saying, however, that the bill was GOOD for anyone but the credit card industry, I am only saying that Biden made it less bad.

By the way, I don't know if you were a Hillary supporter, but Hillary was the only Senator who was absent for the vote. It's a safe bet that  she KNEW she'd be running higher office in 2008 but that Biden did not.

Obama voted against the bill. I think he would have had a really really hard time explaining a "yes" vote because as a community organizer in S Chicago, he met a lot people who were bankrupt or nearly so.

Answer 4

I'm with Westhill.
