How should Congress reform bankruptcy law (if at all)?

[Guest guest]

This week the Senate will again consider the same legislation that banks and

credit card company campaign contributors have been pushing for 6 years. Some

contend the increasing numbers of bankruptcy filings are the fault of " deadbeat "

consumers. Critics say skyrocketing medical bills and predatory lending

practices are forcing hard-working families into endless debt.

 

A number of amendments have been proposed, to exempt those suffering from

medical hardship or extended military deployment from the restrictive means

tests in the revived bill, to include provisions to hold corporate insiders

accountable who steal from retirement pensions, and to raise the minimum wage so

that all can have a living wage. Where do you stand on these questions?
