That's hypocritical

At a time when Republicans in Washington have racked up more debt than any other Congress in US history through a combination of reckless spending and ideological tax-cutting, they have the temerity to make it harder for Americans on poverty row to declare bankruptcy.

I was raised that you lead by example and the example these balance-sheet bunglers set is fiscal mismanagement without accountability.

Let them eat cake

Is Washington full of nothing but hypocritical hucksters and used car salesmen in expensive suits?

If what is good for the goose were good for the gander the Whitehouse would be repossessed and it's occupants held responsible for their debts.

I believe that a person ought to pay their bills, but sometimes there's a damn good reason to declare bankruptcy, usually that reason is a medical emergency. If these carrion-feeders were as compassionate as advertised they'd do something about our healthcare system so that people wouldn't have to declare bankruptcy in the firstplace. Instead they act to make a bad situation worse and congratulate themselves with smiles all around.

How can so many people be so outright heartless?

If Canada can do it, why can't we?
