Reply #15: Bankruptcy is the preferable option for many people.

That, of course, is why they do it. But there's a lot of shame involved. Our society teaches us that we are responsible for our own misery when, for most of us, that's not the case at all. The pro-capitalist propaganda machine works very well. The rich want us to pay our debts, at all cost, and many of us do, even though bankruptcy would be preferable.
