bankruptcy is hardly a bailout moondog Send a noteboard - 19/02/2010 06:48:02 AM
Taxpayers have a bail out. Its called bankruptcy. You can go through the process and walk away from hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt without paying a dime. You can do it once every 4-7 years. That is a bail out, people just don't like to think of it as such.


not since the bankruptcy act which does not allow you to declare bankruptcy and get out of your credit card debt from doing so. so, you're still on the hook for those credit cards, even if most of the rest of your debt is erased (or close to it). not only are you still liable for credit cards, but in some cases, your credit card debt takes precedent over things like child support/alimony. i would hardly call consumer bankruptcy a bailout, but i guess it's probably the closest thing the average person has...

Weak is all hes got. Dragonsoul - 20/02/2010 08:36:27 AM 456 Views
I've noticed that while everynametaken is a quality poster... beckstcw - 20/02/2010 10:14:09 PM 498 Views
I find that he tends to do it when he wants to argue a cause... Dragonsoul - 20/02/2010 10:16:50 PM 475 Views
I don't bother with you because you don't actually want to hear what I or anyone else has to say. everynametaken - 21/02/2010 12:37:40 AM 480 Views
In denial much? Dragonsoul - 21/02/2010 01:38:31 AM 610 Views
Again, if you think thereligionofpeace.com is a serious source then you are simply sad. everynametaken - 22/02/2010 01:06:55 AM 598 Views
