Bankruptcy Stunner – Thousands Sinking Every Day

Times are tough, unemployment may reach 10% and the toll can now be seen in the numbers of Americans falling into bankruptcy.  There was a stunner of a number in this morning's USA Today.  6,020 individuals and companies are now entering bankruptcy every day.  Filings fell after changes in the code ushered in harsher penalties for those declaring bankruptcy back in 2005.  But, now, they're soaring anew.
