I can't believe this new bill is gonna make it even harder for people like me to file for bankruptcy. It's already tough enough as it is, and now they wanna make it even more complicated? This is just gonna make it harder for folks who are already struggling to get back on their feet. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone in the long run.
