From the Observer:

Murphy Goes Anti-Wall Street With Foreclosure Proposal

The leading candidate in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race proposed having Wall Street banks pay for the conversion of foreclosed homes into affordable housing with millions of dollars in federal mortgage settlement funds Wednesday. Former Goldman Sachs executive and one-time U.S. Ambassador to Germany Phil Murphy said “Wall Street created the foreclosure crisis, they need to be held responsible for fixing it.”

The move could be an attempt to head off criticisms of his own Wall Street background, which has drawn harsh criticism from primary rival and progressive assemblyman John Wisniewski and unfavorable comparisons to former governor Jon Corzine in some New Jersey political circles.

“Making Wall Street pay with the billions they gave up for causing the housing crash would not only ensure fairness for New Jersey’s families, but be a measure of justice for their role in creating this crisis that has left our state pockmarked with empty homes,” Murphy said, adding that he is “mystified that Governor Christie had failed to fight for New Jersey’s share of the funds.”

    I’m sure the lawyers would have a field day with this, as it seems a massive property rights issue.

    Not to mention the fact, banks don’t actually need to foreclose in lien theory states, they can let abandoned houses rot and go after borrowers with deficiency judgements instead.

    Or pay property taxes, water bills, gas bills, etc etc.

    STATEWIDE – The New Jersey Business and Industry Association reports that millennials are fleeing the state at the highest rate of any generation, prompting a daylong conference on Tuesday on what the heck to do about it. The state can do absolutely nothing, and just figure they’ll all be begging to come back. Or, as the intrepid NJSpotlight suggests, we can make our public universities more affordable, build housing that millennials can actually afford, somehow control our property taxes or gentrify more of our aging cities. Or, we can just wait until Manhattan and Philly real estate is so outrageous that millennials have absolutely no choice but to grudgingly cross over the rivers. New state slogan: “New Jersey: There’s No Other Option, Pal.”

    I don’t recall that but my liberal Jewish friends came completely unhinged when I suggested that a completely unrelated stunt by a waiter was an example of anti-Trump hate-hoaxing. They took that as a suggestion by attenuation that the JCC and cemetery stuff might be something other than white supremacists and just went off on me. One, a longtime friend, unfollowed me over it.

If there’s really nothing to report on, which is currently the case. Then, they just have to make sh1t up. Like that Rachel Maddow, Trump tax form reveal. Raised anti-Semitic threats? Trumps fault. Russian’s controlling the election? Sure makes for a nice excuse. Unhinged may be a compliment.

    Gator just showed me the cover of the post with Trump driving a truck and the headline reads, “my way or the highway,” alluding to ACA repeal. She thought it was the Post actually bashing Trump. I said, not at all. And it’s the perfect example of the left not getting it at all. I can just see people all across America saying, “Obama probably couldn’t even drive a stick shift, let alone a Mac Truck.” And the left is all over the same photo saying such dumb things as, “look at at Trump playing with his toy trucks.” They really are setting the red team up for a long stay in DC. Making fun of the majority of the American population at every opportunity is why they are in their current position. And they continue to follow the same strategy.

    It’s funny. That major DNC player who I’m friends with from Montclair, completely gets it. He is done with the escape to Canada jokes. He admits the Russian stuff is about as absurd as the birther movement. He realizes that his party leadership is doing less than nothing to appeal to the Bernie supporters or really any millennials whatsoever. He’s also pissed that Obama did nothing to promote a next in line candidate. I told him, why would he when his party completely abandoned him to HRC in the 2008 election. He plainly admitted his party is a mess. Even before the major election, he was more worried about the 2018 mid-term elections than even Trump beating HRC which he knew was a real possibility. His concern was the same as mine. How do you get the party off of the ledge?

I hold the elitist left to a higher standard and watching them run around like Chicken Little for the past 6 months or so has been excruciatingly painful. The fact we are still clueless just adds to the pain.

  47. Trumpito Does PussinatorJudo says:

    The TrumpCare/ObamaCare fight is actually quite of a political judo move by Trump.

    Fact – TrumpCare offered would cost more & cover less. It would affect “damage hospital for profit industry”. It was no received well at all by public. Trump found his numbers got worse by getting near this issue, realizing that the issue was an “astroturf” issue – plenty of noise and sizzle coming mainly from the ideological pure wing, but most people really are not affected in a negative way by ObamaCare existence and many actually benefit.

    With this in mind Trumpito has given the “ideological pure” wing a ball to play with in their court and they were not able to score a hit. He takes ball back and consider them less than serious. ObamaCare issue is forever close during his presidency and just to make it even sweeter Ryan got even weaker.

    Very nice move by him to get rid of the ObamaCare and Tea Party wackos in one fast good move.

    ?

    It’s a very unpopular bill that no one wants this to pass, outside of getting a win. No reason to get your fingerprints on it.

    There has to be a second bill somewhere, and this one was just theater. A GOP bill with a GOP majority house and they still can’t pass it? Doesn’t make any sense.

    “There has to be a second bill somewhere, and this one was just theater. A GOP bill with a GOP majority house and they still can’t pass it? Doesn’t make any sense.’

    I agree, they sent about 60 bills to Obama to repeal it. You’d think they would just pull one of those bills out of a hat, pass it, and call it a day if they were sincere. I’d hate to think that they wasted the people’s time 60 times to pass bills that they really didn’t want.

    Fast Eddie, you bet that there probably was a FISA wiretap warrant against Manafort, and thereby it picked up the campaign stuff if any.

If so, much higher burden on the youth today.
