Ocasio-Cortez: We Could Pay For Two-Thirds Of Medicare For All With That $21 Trillion [tr]

Even some lefties on Twitter are giving her the side-eye for this. Imagine how wrong you’d have to be on the numbers for defense spending for liberals to say, “You’re exaggerating the problem.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @Ocasio2018

$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”

$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.

That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.

And that’s before our premiums.

Well, she is smarter than those who voted for her.

But, if she voted for herself, does that not take her down as well?

A pile of dog feces is as intelligent and more useful than this twit.

That’s right. She could quit after one term and get the pension for the rest of her life.

There is an incredible amount of cash controlled by the hospital-pharma-”insurance” iron triangle which could be repurposed for a national system.

"The point of the story is that Defense is so opaque that even professionals can’t follow the money from one paper transaction to another."

My read is that the Pentagon is arguably a much bigger money laundering machine than the Clinton Foundation is.

Also, since the Founding States gave the “power of the purse” (1.7.1) uniquely to the House of Representatives, the House, but ultimately low-information ordinary voters, gets full blame for Pentagon deceptive accounting imo.

”Article I, Section 3, Clause 1: The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States [emphasis added], and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature."

“Does she have a nice ass?”


Probably too skinny and boy-like...not for me, even when I was single. Plus, there’s the problem of her talking, which is unacceptable before, during and after.

Built nice. Just the bells don't always go off and the score's all wrong.

Which is the problem she's having.

Being a hot bartender in New York meant she was never challenged when she said something stupid, your chance to take her home would be zero then.

Hey, this could work! The Russians and Chinese would go to war over who got to snap us up. But in the end, whoever was losing would nuke the carp out of the US so no one would have it. Nevermind.

And I can imagine that several comediennes are salivating at the potential to mock this berk. Until someone reminds them to toe the party line.

You can only fix stupid when stupid is humble enough to learn from facts and history.

I think this described the problem with Ocasio-Cortez and the democrat party.

She’s so smart that she should move to Venezuela and fix their problems.

This brainless moron will turn out to be one of the GOP’s biggest assets.

Pretty easy to add up to 21T in an organization as big as the military with hundreds of millions of employees. I worked in a tiny little department of about 30 people and we had 3M in research equipment that was unaccounted for one year. Turns out it was simply misplaced during a reorganization and stuck in various closets and storerooms.
