Democratic Proposal - Bankruptcy Relief

As kos points out, in the aftermath of Katrina, the GOP will focus on more tax cuts for the rich. However, this is what some Democrats are working on, bankruptcy relief:


Rep. John Conyers, Jr., Rep. Mel Watt, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee announced today that when Congress returns next Tuesday, they will introduce legislation to protect the thousands of families and small businesses financially devastated by Hurricane Katrina from being penalized by anti-debtor provisions contained in the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, scheduled to take effect on October 17, 2005.
If you wanted to know the difference between Democrats and Republicans, there can be no starker contrast.
