thumb screw bills

===========================
" Warren Buffett recently
made headlines by saying America
is more likely
to turn into
a "sharecroppers' society"
than an "ownership society."
But I think
the right term is a "debt peonage" society
after the system,
prevalent in the post-Civil War South
in which debtors were forced to work
for their creditors.
The bankruptcy bill
won't get us back
to those bad old days
all by itself,
but it's a significant step
in that direction."
