Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's promise to boost federal funding for social programs should not be considered "free stuff," because they are in fact "public goods," the New York Democrat said in a Monday tweet.
Ocasio-Cortez, who earlier in the day led a Green New Deal town hall about public housing in the Bronx, said she's tired of being accused of essentially bribing voters with financial handouts.
"Public education, libraries, & infrastructure policies (which weve had before in America and elsewhere in the world!) are not 'free stuff,'" she tweeted.
"They are PUBLIC GOODS. And they are worth investing in, protecting, & advancing for all society and future generations. Sincerely, NY-14."

Don't forget - this particular bartender stole tips from the jar which were meant to be split with her fellow bartenders.

Don't forget - this particular bartender stole tips from the jar which were meant to be split with her fellow bartenders. Yes and now she is a Congressman.
Who will be making policy for many, many years to come.

Your breasts are public goods.

her appearance with Bernie went to her head. What she should be talking about is what she’s going to do for work after she’s primaried in 11 months.

That’s fine then, you ignorant twit. Do it without taxpayer’s hard earned money, and see how long it isn’t “free”.

The Democrats say that AOC is smart. But she is the Wiley E. Coyote of the Democratic party.

“...That was wrong...”
Actually, with her, it would be more like:
“Was that wrong? I mean, like, there was no sign that said NOT to take the money...so....?”

I was watching "The Five" on Fox talking about that. 'Public goods' is when you speak of libraries, parks, fire and police services etc., meant for all citizens to use. AOC's free stuff is not for all, just for her select minority group. And she is half right in that it is not free, the rest of us pay for it. But it is certainly not 'public goods' because her giveaways are not shared items like parks. AOC is dumb, dumb, and dumber than most people.
