Democratic Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday afternoon criticized a proposed short-term spending bill that provided $5.7 billion requested by President Donald Trump for border security, stating: “Walls are waste.”

“For the wall’s $5.7 billion, every child in America could have access to Universal Pre-K,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, reiterating her position during her campaign in support of universal preschool and boosting funding to schools.

“Yet when we propose the SAME $, we’re told Universal Edu is a ‘fantasy’ & asked ‘how are you going to pay for it,’” she continued in her tweet. “Education is an investment in society that yields returns.”

Pretty neat for an idiot who's about to get 24/7 armed protection.

I am surprised she isn’t advocating for in utero indoctrination, although I guess that would conflict with the desire to have abortion as standard birth control.

[proust]

money is better spent on cradle to grave indoctrination.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Vote for me and I will give you free babysitting K-16!

[nopardons]

This FUGLY, uneducated, STUPID, MARXIST MILLENNIAL should just move to Venezuela!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Regardless, the wall will last and and the “preschool” crap will be gone faster than she can eat my burrito

[SaveFerris]

It’s for the chilruns!!

She knows that the best thing for the state is to own every child from the time they leave the cradle.

Preschool is bad for children, who already spend far too little time with the people who gave them birth. Even adding everything preschool provides together it doesn't come close to making up for the loss of bonding with a parent which that time should be providing, let alone the learning of life skills which is supposed to come about from watching a parent do ordinary chores.

The dingbat wants to do something which causes harm instead of securing the border.

Pelosi doesn’t think the wall around her mansion is a waste...

[cuban leaf]

Doesn’t get it. The wall is within the function of the FedGov. Preschool is not.

[Nateman]

As someone who was born blond I hear-by pass the torch , lit by blond jokes , onto AOC in honor of her finding new ways everyday of proving just how stupid and proud of it she truly is. A perfect spokesperson for Socialism!

Rochester NY...The graduation rate is under 50% and these are some of the highest paid teachers in the nation....and highest cost per pupil, too.

[Tired of Taxes]

“Universal Preschool” is a code word for “Required Preschool.”

Get ready to face truancy charges if you refuse to send your 3-year-old to school.

[Rashputin]

And this was going to be the alternative to Pelosi?

"Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them."

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Tens of thousands of young adults and teens die every single year from the drug poison that is FLOODING over the border. So what she is saying is, to hell with them, starting the Marxist indoctrination program for kids under 5 is more important. Oh yeah, not even in office yet and already she's a Master Democrap.

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

She may not know economics, but she knows her Communist Manifesto.

[old-ager]

I don’t believe in talking this way.

But. G Damned Communist!

[VanDeKoik]

I hate when they poke their head up from under the desk and think I care about what they think.
