Last week I asked how anyone could be opposed to giving a small break to the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the form of relief from the new provisions in the bankruptcy amendments. After all, these aren’t the people who the credit industry claimed to be targeting. These are people who have lost homes, cars, and jobs. They don’t need the credit counseling required by the new law, they may not be able to find the six months of pay stubs required by the law, and they shouldn’t be saddled with the extra litigation and uncertainty that this complex new statute imposes. So why not delay the new law for these people?
