Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Wednesday via Twitter she will vote no on House rules that contain a provision requiring all spending programs to be offset with revenue earnings.

“The ‘pay as you go’ rule, commonly known as PAYGO, requires that any increase in entitlement spending be offset by cuts in other entitlement programs, or by new revenue raisers, in order to prevent the deficit from increasing,” CBS News reported.

The package of rules containing PAYGO are supported by likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pitting the young Democratic Socialist from New York against her very early in the new Congress.

AOC ping.

She is going after the money. The most dangerous place in the world is between a Congressman and money.

[Lumper20]

She is NO ECONOMICS MAJOR. She has a MINOR in ECON which normally is econ 201-202, plus non essential econ courses like econ geo. urban geo, etc.

AOC is on the ball here. She has an alternative rule, to use instead:

The “Just Pay For It” rule.

Economics? Wasn't that a car made in Yogoslavia?.

[Mastador1]

Of course she will, she’s a communist and they only spend spend spend.

[shelterguy]

She is a real badass now that she has been inaugurated and stuff.

[Jimmy Valentine]

The hyper liberals are ready to “go to the mattresses “. Nancy looking shaky.

[Mr. K]

what is her degree in then?

[Buckeye McFrog]

The whole thing is a crock anyhow. NONE of them pay as they go. Republicans don’t pay as they go.

You can make the case that she’s more honest than any of them on this point.

Can't really blame her for thinking this. With the country is $22 trillion in debt, "just pay for it" has been working pretty good so far.

I think music, plays the skin flute.

[Mr. K]

that would explain a lot

[Jewbacca]

The reason Nancy wants PayGo is to have a rationale to raise taxes for giant boondoggle projects.

Sadly, it’s exactly her type that will enjoy a 50 year tenure.
