"But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters Thursday that the House will not pass the bipartisan bill until the Senate also passes a reconciliation measure, which constitutes leverage to force the latter to happen."

Isnt this sooo much better than warring with trolls?

I personally have absolutely no objections to any sort of restrictions on loaning money to people who shouldn't be borrowing. I only attempted to point out political realities regarding what can be done and what is politically unrealistic. I actually think Shakespeare got it totally correct.

i don't see what's so impractical about banning people from borrowing who don't have a legitimate chance of paying the loan back, nor of placing a reasonable ceiling on interest rates, nor amending personal bankruptcy so people aren't permanently saddled with loans they'll never be able to repay.

if people who had no business taking out loans stopped receiving them, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Of course it's not a 'dempanic' in those countries, only in the U.S. Those guys are smarter than that. We're the 'fumduckers'!!!

* I regret having said that Stucki is not a troll as he seems to have been offended by my comment and has tried harder. He just isn't very good at it.

First you come up with 'pandemic' in place of the actual 'dempanic' and now I read 'reconciliation' in place of 'sillyreconation'!!

There's just no end to it!

Their "democracy is at stake" talking point is also falling on deaf ears. Why should anyone believe them? If it were true, their hair should be on fire. Instead, Schumer's going to allow the senate to take a month long vacation in August.

The End is near.
