Bankruptcy, Continued

If this bill can pass so overwhelmingly in the face of conservative opposition, it might be evidence that the current House and Senate Republicans have “jumped the shark.”

On the other hand, I doubt if this is simple corruption. Todd Zywicki pointed out there is a case on the other side. I suspect this is a matter of lobbyists running a subtle campaign. They kept a low profile for years but made sure that every Representative and Senator was surrounded by people who occasionaly complained about deadbeats and gave the impression there was no legitimate dissent. (Leftists should be familiar with this by the way they spin environmentalism.) It was then well on the way to being passed before most of the opposition even heard of it.
