Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: Medicare For All Is Cheaper Because It Reduces Funeral Costs
Townhall.com ^ | August 9, 2018 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/09/2018 11:52:04 PM PDT by Kaslin

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fun. No, I mean that in all sincerity; she’s a fun candidate. She’s now one of the faces of the emerging left wing of the Democratic Party. Some have even called her the future of the Democratic Party. Maybe they should slow their roll on her, but hey—a Democratic implosion of rising talent is always a fun show to watch. She’s feisty. She has her moments, but when it comes to the policy discussion for her television hits, she veers into rocky shoals.

casio-Cortez is clueless on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, playing whack-a-mole concerning whether there should be a two-state solution. Don’t expect anything rational from here on out. Three days after her interview on PBS’ Firing Line, in which she voiced her support for a two-state solution, she moved away from that position. She recently attended a conference with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, so that’s all you need to know where she’ll probably land. The far left is viciously anti-Israel. You have to be in order to call yourself a proud left-winger.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo had her on his show, where she proved once again that she has no clue what she's talking about concerning economic policy. Ocasio-Corez thinks the military got a $700 billion increase, wrote a $2 trillion check for the Trump tax cuts, and the Medicare for All initiative isn’t bad because it would reduce the costs of funerals. Yeah, no one will die under a single payer system. Hey, not dying—sounds great on paper. Concerning application, you’d have to be on crack cocaine to think this would ever be cost-effective. It’s not. It has a $30+ trillion price tag. The three-decade price tag for the Left’s goodie bag—free college, Medicare for all, etc.—lands in the neighborhood of…$218 trillion.

She is proof blondes get a bad rap. Maybe she dyes her carpet blonde because she can't read the bottle.

Somebody should ask her how she feels about the Israeli occupation of Pakistan.

I’m not the first person to point out that mass graves, which Socialists produce in abundance, cut way down on funeral expenses.

So that’s who put Ferryman out of business.

He was the man with a plot, the man with a plan.

You mean, people will stop dying if only there’s Medicaid for all? Don’t be surprised if the death toll rises under massive socialized medicine.

It works here in Israel because we’re a tiny country, smaller than New Jersey and larger than Rhode Island, and because will all those Jews around, there are bound to be some capable doctors. But in America?

Cremations can be a renewable fuel source. Done all the time in India and Japan, and look how clean their environment is.

This moron received an economics degree from some boston college?
Doesn’t say much about said learning institution.
Like some high school passing some dolt unable to read write or do simple math.

“If you’ve croaked, why would you care? “

In the 1920’s my uncle and grandfather were arguing. The grandfather said, “You’re so bad with money you don’t have enough to get buried.” The uncle retorted, “Just leave me in the living room. I can stand it as long as you can.”

Actually, she is correct. Under socialism, there will be less funeral costs for the individuals. However, diesel will shoot up as the loaders start digging the mass graves.

I really do hope she becomes the demoncrap’s presidential candidate for 2020.

Yeah, and for sheer entertainment’s sake, I’m willing to relax the age requirements for President one time. It would be a real hoot to put her up against Big Don.

So I see in the far future a Hispanic Maxine Waters. She’s got all the moves down now…but when senility kicks in, watch out.

As an affirmative action student, all she needed to get passing grades was a pulse...

It’s true that only the delusional will support her, although you left out the people who vote Democrat without any knowledge at all. They are not delusional, but stupid or ignorant, take your pick.
