How will the bankruptcy bill play in Kansas?
Somehow, I have the feeling that Kansas is going to have a very hard time with the loansharking Bankruptcy Bill (Kos)
(You know, the Republican bill that treats debt from medical bills the same as debt from too much shopping, and lets the billionaires shield their mansions in Florida at the same time your Mom loses her house.)
Except, maybe, for the Kansans who work in call centers.
I can see why the Senators from MBNA (Carper, Biden) would vote for the bill, but why on earth would Nelson (Nebraska) and Johnson (North Dakota) vote for it? Call centers in their states?
There's probably a story to be written about Red State call centers doing some collecting the vigoris from Blue state debtors...
