Yep, but notice that I carefully couched my reference to "fools in debt."
There are always legitimate cases where honest people have fallen on hard
times and it is in the best interest of the rest of us to help them regain
their balance.
There are others, of course, like the big casino mahof, who hired my company
to do his mechanical construction and then claimed (planned) bankruptcy. He
offered us 10 cents on the dollar. As you can see, he is no where near
bankrupt and planned to let the contractors pay for his casino. We said no,
beat him in court, and got all of our money.

I agree, but a very large number are in that situation because of family
problems, such as illness or death of a spouse or child/parent. Most are
not cheating the system.

No they don't. What they do is offer the card at a lower rate and then
let it crawl like ivy up a wall.
And by the way, I'm all for making bankruptcy more difficult for fools in
debt. Why should we all pay for their lack of discipline. Wouldn't Neal
be surprised.

What it means is that people who can scrape together two
nickels to save will get 1.5% interest while credit card companies
rape
people for 20% (check out Citi-Bank's earnings and policies).

Rape? Anybody that uses a CC deserves what they get charged. it's not
like they hide the int. rates.
