Wouldn't it be poetic justice if this bill wound up costing the credit card companies money because of lost business? Even with all the bankruptcies today I understand that their profits are at record high levels.

I don't see why that would have been difficult. Unless something changed since I've checked into it and read the news reports, they made exemptions for people who incur legal debt as a consequence of crimes against abortion clinics. That's about as blatant as a party can be, in my opinion. I have no idea the rationalizations the ground-level members of the republican party can tell themselves to stomach this crapola. Even the bible states that debt amnesty should be granted after 7 years.
