My comprehension of economics (as conventionally accepted) is zero (it is so unscientific as to be merely as branch of voodoo) but do recall reading that a major factor in US success was the ease with which bankrupts can redeem themselves. 12 years seems daft.bloggoth

I used to visit a client site in Tallaght just outside Dublin. Which 15 years ago had the highest murder rate in Ireland coupled with a very loyal IRA following.
Next morning I mentioned that I'd been out for a few beers in the village. They looked at me dumb founded. Which pub did you go into?
I told them the name and they looked even more aghast.
And you didn't have any problems????
No. I just ordered and sat in the corner reading the paper. Why was is a locals pub?
Yeah. It's just that you have an offensive accent.
Turned out it was a massive pro IRA pub. I hadn't taken much notice.
