28. The Bankruptcy Bill and the Rave Act
On the bankruptcy bill he earned the "(D, MBNA)" that some put after his name. Sold us out big time.

Biden also snuck the Rave Act into the Amber Bill in the conference committee in the dead of night, so that nobody would have a chance to vote on it by itself.
The Rave Act had been brought up on its own a few times before, and had always attracted a lot of public input in opposition and been defeated.
All of this public participation in the political process was a nuisance to Biden, so he resolved to do an end-run around it with the conference committee.

And you wonder why it is so hard to get young people involved in politics, when people who are supposed to be on our side to this to us?!
