Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said during a CBS News interview on Sunday that the problem with Democrats’ $3.5 trillion social spending bill is that people keeping talking about how expensive it is.
“The head of your caucus, the progressive caucus, was on another network this morning and Rep. Jayapal said $1.5 trillion is just too small,” host Margaret Brennan said. “That’s the number that Senate moderates, Joe Manchin in particular, want to get down to. President Biden, according to our reporting from Ed O’Keefe, our correspondent, says you’re going to have to settle for about $2 trillion. Is that an acceptable ceiling for you?”

This Conversation Shouldn’t Be.
Flatline traitorous Demonicrats voting for one of their own.
Numbers are inconvenient distractions, sort of like that truth thingy.
AOC went to the bank on Friday and demanded to see a mortgage banker. She explained that she had found a home in Georgetown, with stunning views of the Potomac River, and she just had to have it. The price was $7.5 million.
The banker said, “That’s great! How much money do you have for a down-payment?”. To which, AOC replied “None.”.
“Well then, what’s your annual income?” asked the banker.
AOC perked up and proudly said: “I’m a US Congress-woman and I make $174,000 a year!!”.
The banker said, “Look - there’s no way I can get a mortgage for you on a $7.5 million house with nothing down, and when you only make $174,000. The principal & interest alone is nearly $400,000.”
To which AOC replied: “The problem is, this conversation shouldn’t be about numbers.”
[/sarcasm]
Of course it shouldn’t be about numbers, that is racist!
After all, she is from Brooklyn. Numbers beyond a dozen or so are too difficult to those folk (new yorkers — that’s why the never migrated westward — too much work).
Level a tax on stupidity, it seem to be an abundant commodity.
Even more ludicrous that scores of demented post menapausal old ladies, Pelosi, Clinton, Feinstein, Sotomayor, Collins, Murkowski, Waters, Duckworth etc. etc. etc. have real power in the Federal government and are destroying this once great nation. Never in history has any civilization allowed old ladies the power and influence that exists in modern day America. Its been about one hundred years since women were allowed the vote and objective historians will one day note it has been an unmitigated disaster for the American nation. It is not misoginist to note the truth.
The blind squirrel caught a nut. She’s absolutely right, the conversation should be about the Marxist takeover of our liberty hidden in these bills.
Stupidity is strong in this one.....
Now the bartender thinks it would be a good idea to pass 3.5 trillion but only half fund it in years. This is a totally ludicrous solution, pass mandates but fund them for a year - I can’t imagine that bartender thinking will prevail.
AOC represents massive government debt in our printed, fiat currency, bloated government and leftist fantasy, immorality, and political cynicism it engenders. Its "late-empire" kind of stuff.
I am AOC and have an economics degree but number are higglely-pigglely. It’s what the outcome of what we are doing changing the world to serfdom that is important.
That woman is worse than Nancy Pelosi...and she’s young. This country is beyond hope. She is the face of raw evil.

Absolutely spot on. That is exactly how she's thinking. She might say to him, if you don't give me the loan, I'll have you killed.
Let’s take some of that money and establish some civil liberties classes, maybe some gun safety classes, the civil rights group to investigate any bias groups, such as black or Hispanic member-only organizations, Maybe rewards for rounding up and deporting illegal aliens
Why is AOCommunist in Congress? One reason: Large, natural breasts on a slim body. It’s not for any measure of intelligence or leadership ability.
Reminds of the reply from one of my kids when they were very young. “Can you buy that ... for me?” “No it’s way too expensive.” “But you just go to to money machine and get some.” (ATM)
AOC HAS THE SAME MINDSET AS THAT 4 YEAR OLD CHILD!
IF THEY PASS THIS DOES IT BECOME THE NEW ‘BASELINE’ BUDGET?
In other words will this then become the new yearly budget amount?
I guess money grows on trees in her ‘hood.
If libs knew the Sun is essentially a giant nuclear reactor, a fossil fuel juggernaut, they’d die of fright.
