Incoming New York congresswoman and self-proclaimed Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was puzzled by a question about how to pay for things like free college tuition and free Medicare for all and mocked those people who see the obvious economic problems with such nonsense. However, in Ocasio-Cortezs mind, she thinks, well you just pay for it.
OK, lets just get this out on the table now. If one just pays for it, its not really free, is it? Someone is paying for it, whether its welfare or some government entitlement that makes you dependent upon government for your money or healthcare.
During an interview with Jorge Ramos on Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said, People often say, like, how are you going to pay for it? And I find the question so puzzling because how do you pay for something thats more affordable? How do you pay for cheaper rent? How do you pay for you just pay for it.

What an idiot. The New York university that gave her a diploma must be very proud.
This woman has the brain of a 4th grader. She has no concept of reality, yet she got elected. Tells a lot about how people in New York are paying attention.
It was Boston University. But yeah, ridiculous.
In 2001, Crouton asked what proof he would accept, to join in the war against Iraq. His response was, "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
Sounds a lot like Ocasio-Cortez, doesn't it.
When my son was a toddler, he wanted me to stay home from work and play with him. I tried to explain I needed to go to work so I could make money to buy him stuff. I asked him where did he think the money came from. He said: On top of your dresser.
Fast forward to summer on 1995...great heat wave and we had no air conditioning. My daughter had enough, jumped off the couch and screamed “go buy A/C and figure out how to pay for it later.”(I did and I did)
My kids were way ahead of Ocasio-Cortez
Lord HELP us. We have become a stupid Godless people !
Believe it or not, it’s in economics.
You just force Other People to pay for it.
Like an old Steve Martin comedy routine: How to be a millionaire. First, get a million dollars.
is there proof that she has that degree? or did she just say it?
BTW, isn't involuntary servitude still allowed in cases of bad debt?
How long do you think it'd take the Dems (and Paul Ryno) to work off 20 trillion dollars?
And she wants to eliminate woman´s suffrage because women suffrage too much.
Yes, it boggles the mind. No wonder she was working as a bartender, she wasn’t able to actually work in a nation that has a capitalist economic system.
Is her degree in socialistic economics or communistic economics?
Ocasio-Cortez has described her background as working-class, and relates many of her political positions to it. When her father died intestate of lung cancer in 2008,[23] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy."[24]
She credits seeing the treatment of her cousin by law enforcement, as well as her Catholic faith, for her desire to overhaul mass incarceration in the criminal-justice system.[25]
"Well, if we run out of cash, we'll just use our credit card." |
Sure, the new congresswoman from NY gets a few guffaws for this, and rightfully so.
Then again, her answer is the same one given for other socialist programs like Social Security, Medicare, etc.
If you laugh at her, but support other socialist programs, a bit of introspection is needed.
Its more affordable, just like the ACA, don’t you get it?
Its so simple.
