Reply #27: The Biden example is interesting [View All]

To me, I would say that it deferenciates between those who are looking out for the good of the entire nation. Whether it's to fund pork projects in your district or to benefit companies (via contracts) or legislation, states expect their Senators to vote their intersts. As long as the bills simply favor your state to the detriment of another, it's standard politics.


But the bankruptcy bill actually has enormous ability to hurt those with the least ability to take it. This does reflect on him. It is also hard to see how it loses jobs in his state. It doesn't change the number of people who need insurance. What it does clearly do is to increase profits of the insurance companies - big long term contributors of Biden.
