Political Quotes

“I wanted to add to the gentleman's sentiments, that who can be opposed to the idea that an individual who is contemplating bankruptcy should be given full disclosure on what entities or others out there who are ready to assist him or prod him into bankruptcy? What we are talking about is if we could do it, to prevent people from jumping headlong into bankruptcy, we ought to take every step in order to do that. The gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Watt) is correct that I voted against his amendment in committee. I will remind him at the proper time of how many other votes then were taken on a bipartisan basis that he opposes still. So that is not a criterion, that when a bill is passed on a bipartisan basis, he believes it is worthy of something. So do I. But I will remind him when the time comes of bipartisan support for X or Y and see if he has the same rationale applicable to that amendment. But in the meantime, it is not a bad thing to let a prospective bankrupt individual look at all the possible traps into which he can fall. I commend the gentleman's return to sanity through the debtor's rights amendment.”
