as part of the some prime mortgage crisis
and the subsequent foreclosures
one of the ways the federal government helped was to allocate emergency
assistance
to the worst-hit states with the most foreclosures so there were eighteen
states in total they receive money
Arizona actually have the second highest number of foreclosures
all the states there were roughly
293,000 homes that were foreclosed on between 2010 and 2012
in Arizona anyways estimated that the federal assistance
would have stopped 12,000 total foreclosures
so those were the estimates by okay so the federal government's gonna give
Arizona X amount of help and here's how it's going to mitigate the problem
12,000 foreclosures are going to be
same there's not they're not going to go into foreclosure so you want a yes
how actually played out and how many foreclosures were actually
averted just 1,550
now the reason why that is is because
the money that Arizona State was
the state of Arizona was given by the federal government they only spent
six-percent a bit the $260 million dollars total that they were given
six-percent for means everybody else they got their applications rejected in
fact
they denied sixty-seven percent of the applicant's looking for help
they other obligations rejected and they lost their house
so the question is why why did the state of Arizona decide to fuck over their own
constituents
the people that live in their state and its actually it's a very simple answer
they just don't care they just flat-out
don't give a shit about their constituents they don't give a shit
about you
and by the way for the record this is exactly the same thing that chris
Christie did in New Jersey
your own all the democrats for like a hour good times then probably including
today
they're like story are I'd over chris Christie like you the one Republican
they would vote for
well I've been they do and screaming through a bullhorn no
all he's a bad guy now why did I say that while there's multiple reasons
including
he shut down a police department that was needed I believe it was in Camden
New Jersey
in crime spite gee what a surprise you should at least four minutes pike's
I mean obvious that any was given tax cuts for the rich with that money
again horrible priorities but here's another reason so we took money from the
federal government
to help with the foreclosures in New Jersey eggs at a high number as well
and you think about the money he just sat on it in fact you know they do
they take the money and when nobody's looking be put into the general fund
like hell yeah how you never told you gonna help foreclosures yeah I care so
deeply about my constituents anyways nobody lookin
okay put it in the rural phone
easy does it you know that nobody look month ever look away
up I this isn't going towards the deficit I promise
no not going to suck on your bed and not to go anywhere the fairest
know you you're not allowed
to do that a and
love valleys my bigger point here I
there's a million problems we have to deal with with our government and I
try to talk about them on a daily basis and I try to highlight the right parts
hopefully you guys think I do a good job at that but 10 the
problems that goes under-reported that nobody really talks about
is the fact that states in the US
flat-out disregard federal law and
there's this part of the constitution called the Supremacy Clause which says
the federal government
their law override state law it's so ironic that all these republicans talk
about
yeah Constitution yeah for all I care about every part of his bike car rolling
yes but then the Supremacy Clause well yeah fuck its present cautions for
clemency flawless
we don't care about that are all but that that part of the Constitution I
think a little about the Constitution
so TV some specific examples there were red states have passed laws that
preemptively band any
federal gun laws that were supposed to come after sandy help but of course they
didn't come because our congress is somewhat by the NRA
they say no. they pass any a high-capacity magazine manner so as rain
doesn't white house for passing a law that says that's easy zzzzz
February because you're allowed to do that
and of course there's it thousands of other examples
a literally so abortion is our 1
taxes just passed a 20-week abortion ban yeah but you're not
allowed to do that according to roe versus wade in the subsequent Supreme
Court cases
24 weeks is where you constitutionally have to draw the line if
you can bet after 24 and have each some exceptions but
you can't do it in 20 but they did it anyway don't forget will do it anyway
you're not allowed a new route is OK to federal
government just get any money to help with foreclosures I'll just use it to
lower my deficit
you're not only allowed to do that but you need it anyway
because your shocks and your ass holes and you should learn a thing or two
about the law
and your way under qualified for the position that you have
i'm talking about the state senators in the governor's
for Kamal's what I say I'm getting but worked up here
