When headlines and story clash...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30196409/

Bankruptcies surge despite law meant to help

-Then in the very first paragraph...

"RALEIGH, N.C. - The number of U.S. businesses and individuals declaring bankruptcy is rising with a vengeance amid the recession, despite a three-year-old federal law that made it much tougher for Americans to escape their debts, an Associated Press analysis found."

-more stupidity from msnbc and their imaginary editing staff.
