I did. Texas not only has federally-funded family planning clinics, they have state-funded family planning clinics, as well. Darn those Texas Republicans for providing publicly-funded contraceptives, huh?

Not unless they continued to pay for it.

Total BS.

Quote:
“No one gets a free house,” Judge Michael B. Kaplan of the United States Bankruptcy Court in Trenton wrote in an opinion late last year, reflecting what he characterized as a longstanding “admonition” he and others made during the foreclosure crisis. But after effectively ending a New Jersey homeowner’s foreclosure case in November because the state’s six-year statute of limitations had expired, he wrote in his opinion, “With a proper measure of disquiet and chagrin, the court now must retreat from this position.”

Exactly.

Those folks were bailed out to the tune of the $2 Trillion in QE the Federal Reserve created out of thin air to buy the GSE-issued MBS that the Federal Reserve holds on their balance sheet.

Look at the H.4.1s.

2008: $0 in GSE MBS
2016: Over $1.75 Trillion in GSE MBS

Wrong.

I already posted an example of a foreclosure dismissal (based on the expiration of the statute of limitations) ordered by a NJ Judge who wasn't happy to have to go against his own personal opinion on the issue.

Who makes GSE-issued MBS buyers whole?

Hint: the Federal Government, and therefore federal taxpayers and anyone else harmed by the devalued dollar due to QE.

Why does the Bible Belt have more Medicaid births? Something about republican controlled states have lower rates of insured people and higher Medicaid births.

Higher Hispanic and illegal alien populations. For example, in Texas...

Figure 5.10 Pregnant Women on Medicaid in Texas by Race/Ethnicity:

Hispanic 49%
Caucasian 30%
African-American: 18%

Hmmmmm.... Then it would be a smart move for Texas republicans to put forth a viable healthcare plan. Texas didn't want to expand Medicaid and didn't like planned parenthood....

Cause and effect...

Where's the republican immigration plan again that was put forth?
