If you went to the typical working-class guy and said ‘we need to spend a thousand dollars of your money’....meaning it’s personally coming out of his bank account, the first response is ‘on what’.
You’d have to lay out this expense, and make it logical. The roof has a leak and we are going to do ‘A’ and ‘B’ to resolve the leak. So then you ask....is this the permanent fix or the temporary fix?
Then you’d ask about the rating for this roofer. Is it a Mexican no-name roofer doing this with no guarantee? Is this a local guy who has a reputation? Is this someone under the age of 21? Does the roofer even speak English?
At the end of this chat...then you will agree or disagree on the thousand dollar expense.
In this case, AOC is talking about 75-odd TRILLION (with the T) in expenses, and to be truthful....it would take thirty years of questions and answers for a working class guy to assess this...either accepting this or refusing it. Beyond the beltway...logical working class people just aren’t going to buy into this.
“...meaning it’s personally coming out of his bank account, the first response is ‘on what’...”
My first response would be F U.
