“I’m glad I fought - I only wish we’d won”

So the bankruptcy bill pased…not really shocking.

But what was shocking to me was the ammendment which was proposed to look out for single mothers…was rejected.

Read it for yourself

Rejected:
By 41 yeas to 58 nays (Vote No. 36), Dodd (for Kennedy) Amendment No. 70, to exempt debtors whose financial problems were caused by failure to D216receive alimony or child support, or both, from means testing.

In a related story I thought of a quote I once heard

“I’m a compassionate conservative” -GW

I also thought of this quote that has always sustained me.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. 

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. 

And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering, 
love is kind,
it is not jealous, 
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth 
 
It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

Gnight.
