1st user answer I'm no fan of our Prez., but in fairness, it isn't right to say he made the changes, either good or bad. There was a substantial law passed in 2005 changing many, many of the BK guidelines. This was done because of a believed (and likely) very real abuse of the existing laws and need for change. The law was bipartisan, had input from many sources and is generally well received. 2nd user update The previous user is not telling the truth. Bush made a number of changes with his rubber stamp majority republican congress and they were all anti consumer. His intention was to make sure debtors carried that debt to their graves.
