Just when I think I won’t be surprised, Shrub and his minions find yet another way to crap on the lower and middle classes.

If you are a bank or a big corporation, you are safe. If you are an average Joe who loses his jobs, get out the vaseline.

That the only sticking point was a disagreement about using bankruptcy law to shield oneself from fines for protesting abortion puts this whole episode right in the middle of Oz.
