2001 Senate vote on bankruptcy "reform" = we're screwed . . .
while cleaning up my bookmarks, I ran across a chart of how the Senate voted on BushCo's bankruptcy "reform" bill in 2001 . . . it passed 83-15, with only 13 Democrats voting against it: Corzine, Dayton, Dodd, Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry, Nelson (FL), Reed, Rockefeller, Sarbanes, and Wellstone . . . all the rest -- including Senators Biden, Cleland, Clinton, Daschle, Edwards, Feinstein, Leahy, Levin, Lieberman, Mikulski, Murray, Schumer, and Sarbanes -- voted for it (except Boxer, who did not vote) . . . this does not bode well for the current BushCo push to re-introduce this legislation and get it passed . . . and shows what a bunch of chickenshit Bush enablers most Democratic senators actually are . . .

I am really surprised Nelson voted against it. He isn't a strong dem.

2. I wonder how Donald Trump feels...
he's done the big-B TWICE already. And still finds ways to still make more money. Not surprised though; in his books and shows and general way of doing things, he's clearly a user and nothing more.
