Bankruptcy Reform Is A Success, I'm Tellin Ya

From the Des Moines Register:

Betty June Allen and Jack Dean Allen, 5590 S.E. 66th Place, Carlisle, debts $128,511, assets $144,516.

Bryce James Anderson, 532 53rd St., West Des Moines, debts $199,527, assets $206,865.

Donald Charlas Cook Jr. and Susan Ellen Cook, 907 Grandview Ave., debts $95,563, assets $181,900.

Marylou A. McWilliams, 1312 S.W. Burnham Ave., debts $11,880, assets $2,640.

Florence Goldabelle Powell, 1449 E. Court Ave., debts $61,798, assets $60,010.

Jason Ronald Tart and Tiffany Marie Tart, 1675 S.E. 55th St., Pleasant Hill, debts $19,662, assets $9,070.

Samantha M. Smith, 420 N. First St., Milo, debts $21,744, assets $6,274.

Carrie A. Knudsen, 6429 Vista Drive, Apt. 29200, West Des Moines, debts $19,612, assets $15,680.

Looks like nothing has changed.

Are you telling me that some of these people, especially the married couples listed here, couldn't go out and get a part-time job at night or on the weekend and work their way out of debt in a year or two?

The court should be forcing all of the people listed above to work off their debts unless they're severely handicapped.
