this is exactly what happened at 836 faile street. in 2004, a man named asher newman purchased the building for just under $2 million. but the city appraised the building as being worth only $223,000. many landlords invested in buildings like this one, thinking their investment would pay off. they believed that new tenants would move in and pay the higher rents. so newman kept taking out mortgages for the building. by 2011, he had taken out about $3 1/2 million in loans. as his debt increased, so did his monthly payment on the loans, and soon, newman wasn't putting any money back into the building for things like repairs. >> so the real problem here was not the owner's buying, it was the lenders being willing to lend at rates that were simply not supported by the revenue and expenses of the building. >> they really thought that every area in the entire city was going to be boom and the whole city was going to be gentrified. and they made the wrong bets in some neighborhoods where those neighborhoods are still a long way from being gen

that fail as well we have to stop calling schools failing schools when schools fail we fail our communities fail so we need to stop closing neighborhood schools they've created all kinds of heartaches for parents that have to go shopping for a new school every single year because their school across the street doesn't work these are a lot of things that i think a mayor can do to change that divide that structure with regard to the education the last part of. could it be that the arc of causation. that's been promoted that you know ours our schools are failing and therefore our communities are failing is actually backwards really what we have is a poverty problem and that poverty is is being brought to school based absolutely and therefore if we want to fix the schools we fix the poverty first absolutely i think i think just to start with the premise that a school can fail to me is a flawed premise schools don't fail communities fail leaders fail so if a school isn't doing well it's because we need to infuse more resources more wraparound services something to bring it out of its state of fa

that a school can fail to me is a flawed premise schools don't fail communities fail leaders fail so if a school isn't doing well it's because we need to infuse more resources more wraparound services something to bring it out of it's state of failure and that has to be done with a buy in from the community to say look we're not going to let a school fail just like we don't let a child fail we're going to put as many resources as possible going to wrap around services we're going to make sure that there's nutritional services make sure there's psychological services for these kids that have been traumatized by the poverty we have to make sure that there's enough health services for these kids we have to make sure that these kids have literacy experiences a lot of our kids that come out of our high schools can't really be functionally literate that they can't really read we have more jobs in this city that we have people that need them and yet are jobless rate is that all time high in some neighborhoods it's up to twenty five and thirty percent of people that are unemployed it's unacc

the great government controlled experiment has failed us again. and so it's time for a change of course. there is no shortage of new ideas out there. my colleagues and i introduced dozens of bills to directly influence job creation by repealing specific regulations, by preventing new burdensome mandates and encouraging a fair tax system. but so far we haven't had any form of meaningful debate. why? why can't we debate in this body in a meaningful way? i believe it's because we are restricted in this senate by what we can actually vote on. it's a radical form of control, and i am tired of it. rather than allowing an open amendment process, the majority leader has locked this place down. we hear constant calls to end obstruction. but if we're being honest, we would all acknowledge that the primary obstruction here is in the broken nonexistent amendment process. as my friend and colleague, senator coburn, recently noted in the "wall street journal" -- quote -- "mr. reid had already used senate rules to cut off debate and prevent the minority from off

. >> he is one of -- whether they would fail or not, the fact is, they really didn't fail, the forces in afghanistan have had a real effect there. the question now is whether it will be enough, in light of the fact that it came of -- the surge of forces came with an announcement when it would all be over at least on our part, you'll recall, megyn, if you go back to the period where the president was elected, the democrats started with john kerry in '04, took the view that iraq was a bad war and afghanistan was the right war. that was the one where the taliban came from, that was where the attacks on 9/11 were launched on, that was the good theater, that was the one that was worth fighting for. that was basically carried by president obama himself through his campaign, and he was out on that limb with his party when he took office. so he did to some extent noll through on that with the surge, it's discouraging but not all together surprising to hear he never believed it. >> wow! i don't know, not believing in it, not believing in it, and he was skeptical if not outright convinced that

and that failed and this failed.ut with regard to 2014 at the ballot box, maybe that's not a bad strategy. >> well, you know, when you show all that litany of things that republicans did last year it was sort of like a sign wave. there was escalation and then dim mission. when the republicans were on stronger ground was really before the law was actually passed. in 2010 when they were arguing a very simple message. do not let this law happen. obamacare is bad. right? after the law passed they had another very simple message. repeal, repeal, repeal. now what you're seeing is eric cantor and others sending a complicated message. we're going to get these security breaches and will find them when we get them. as you you drill down the strategy to things that are more complex but smaller bore, it makes it difficult to use as a political message. what republicans are counting on is being able to maintain, not dislike for the affordable care act, but rage and anger. that's what you had in 2010 against the law. can you maint

the federal minimum wage has failed to keep up with the cost of living. nearly 2/3's of minimum wage workers are women and 42 million american women either live in poverty or are right on the brink of it. ms. hahn: this is wrong. no one who works hard at a full-time job to provide for their children and families should be living in poverty. today with one in five children living in poverty, we must act and pass the minimum wage act to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 for minimum wage workers over the next three years. it would bring over 4.5 million people above the poverty line. increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 will not only put more money in the hands of those in need but will infuse an additional $51 billion into our economy. and this will not be a job killer, it actually will help to create $140,000 new jobs. our success as a nation hinges on the success of women, when women succeed, america succeeds. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from new york seek recognition? without objection, the gentlelady from new york is
