Ok, the understanding I have is that they expects us to pay our debts back but look at the main example we have to learn from. The National Deficit. The way I see it, we, as consumers, are expected to pay back debts when we are subjected to job loss, minimum wage, gas prices raised - and yeah, we can always walk or take the bus but if you live in the desert like I do where it's really hot in the spring, summer and fall and already walk 45 mins to and from work due to urban sprawl, as well as spend 8 hours on my feet during my work with only two 15 minute breaks during that time, then travel can be tiresome and time consuming.- child care, car care, taxes, etc. It's too easy to get into that debt...and that's without including any medical debts...
Some people I know have racked up 10K in hospital bills due to no insurance (they're job doesn't offer it and they make too little to afford to pay for it) but D.E.S. turns around and says they make too much or expect information that is difficult for a person to obtain due to his or her circumstances...
I don't know about this bill...IMO, it seems to me that this country, overall, is headed in the wrong direction from these choices and decisions. I'd love to see these rich politicians walk for 45mins to work, stand on their feet for 8 hours, then walk for 45 more minutes...if it's hell in this heat for a 25 year old to do it for 5 days a week, I imagine a politician couldn't/wouldn't do it...
