I usually disagree with Krugman, and sometimes find him disingenuous and tendentious, but I agree with each and every word he wrote in this Op Ed piece.

Credit Card companies know the risks when they extend credit, and induce the spendtrift who don't read the fine print to get sucked into the quicksand. BK and a fresh start is not only something I think if fundamentally moral and right, but it also is the only real curb there is on credit card companies just going hog wild, and leading some folks into lifelong peonage as Krugman would put it.

I am a Republican, and if I were in the Senate, I would have been the sole Pubbie to vote no on cloture with respect to this turkey.

I have to agree. Conservatism must mean something more than simply doing what pleases big business.

Ditto.
I even wrote Krugman to tell him so.

I hope the Republicans are pleased with themselves--they are going to pay a huge political price for this down the line.

"And isn't it amusing to hear this batch of leaders make those arguments while creating this kind of debt?"

That last one's my favorite.

1. Nah ...

First few post seem like common sense. Scroll down a bit and they begin eating their own.

5. They go back and forth

The "individual responsibility" argument does battle with advocates of "lender responsibility".

I don't see anyone making the giant leap to "we been had" but it's a little satisfying anyway.

2. Red staters get hit the hardest

Top ten bankruptcy filing states are all red.

Guess its getting up close and personal for them

Nothing like a hammer upside the head to make you think straight.

3. Wow, and they say WE are rigid enforcers of party lines.

"When you find yourself on the same side as four partisan DemocRATs like
Ted Kennedy, Russ Feingold, Dick Durbin and Charles Schumer you are not
thinking like a Republican."

I want the aforementioned fellows to approach this poster and tell him breathing oxygen is good. :evilgrin:
