I know you and I watched this same program and so I'm sure you heard Joe Biden when pressured by the moderator as to how he could back such strict bankruptcy guidelines for people going under do to huge medical expenses and he lamely came back with, "that's why we need a health care program in this country". What in the world does that mean to the families staggered by a major illness or accident currently? Tough luck? But the Democrats are in the majority in the Congress and Senate and I saw no health insurance programs enacted during their tenure. INMO, I feel it was a conflict of interest for Biden to vote on the bankruptcy law, he had dogs in that fight. And where is all that change when they could be producing it right now without Barrack Obama? Those are some of the issues that concern me.

I'm sure all of this will be brought up in the debates, which is why I'm so looking forward to them. I just know McCain cast a series of Senate votes in 2005 siding with the banking industry and lobbyists, while opposing measures from congress and senate that would have helped families struggling to pay medical bills, seniors in bankruptcy fighting to keep their homes, and victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Senator Obama said he also would help service members and military families struggling financially after multiple moves, lengthy deployments and, in some cases, predatory lenders, saying, "If you're protecting America, America should be protecting you from unfair bankruptcy laws."
