"The bank, credit-card and retail industries, which have pushed for the legislation for more than seven years, argue that changes to current law are needed to end abuse of the system by consumers who shirk their financial obligations when they could repay a portion of what they owe.

Apparently so is obviscating the truth about how many Americans are actually unemployed. AND about how the government is aiding and abetting both itself and the private sector by permitting hiring departments and subcontracting employers to REQUIRE pre-existing or recently dormant security clearances.
