In "U.S. bankruptcy reform now on Senate floor."

(a) credit card debt is financial cyanide, and (b) only you can make the decision to take, or not take, that cyanide. I agree 100%, but would like to add that the credit card companies are the ones who took a chance, or made a business decision. Potecting business from deadbeats is not a bad idea, but why only some? Shouldn't the same legislation include any business that could be prone to loss from the same sorts? What about say housepainters, shoe salesmen, or (fill in the blank)? What's good for one should be good for all, no?
