Wrong question - It is not HOW it will be paid. The right question is WHO will pay.
Did Ramos push the question further, or just accept her at her word?
Wow. Just. Wow.
Like, magical thinking.
How cute.
Just pay for it with what? Oh, yeah, other people’s money.
Supposedly, Cortez has an economics degree. Makes one wonder....
And "free" was all that she learned?
She only has to be smarter than the people who vote in her district.
God help us that sort of sophistry actually clicks with the low-information voter.
Like the Lesbian actress in New York. “We’re the world’s wealthiest country, we’ll figure it out.”
A few times I have run across people who seem normal but have no idea how anything works. It’s a breathtaking realization when it suddenly occurs to you that the person you thought was normal is so clueless you have to wonder how they are getting along in the world at all.
As an example, I was talking to an enthusiastic wannabe thirty-something author working on a manuscript. He had a uniformed beat cop checking a top secret US government database. When I tried to explain that beat cops didn’t have access to US government secrets he looked confused, then laughed and said, “Well, nobody is going to know that.”
After listening several times to Ocassio-Cortez, I have come to the conclusion she has no idea how anything works. Further, she doesn’t know she has no idea how anything works. The good part, should she get elected to office, is she will be a full time embarrassment to the Democrats in power. They will not be able to shut her up. On the bad side, stupidity is dangerous. The deciding vote on the unrealistic CAFE was a woman who had noticed that occasionally, the instantaneous fuel mileage on her car was as high as 38 mpg. She said she thought, “Well, we’re almost there. Why not go for the full Monty?”
This clown is what passes for an “Economics” major at a prominent private university (Boston University). God help us.
America’s left used to at least talk about balancing the books.
The typical response to the cost of their schemes, was they would cut the military in half, or some such stuff.
Has Ocasio-Cortez even mentioned that?
Or have massive debt, central banking, fiat money, and manipulated Zero interest rates convinced literally everyone that everything can be a free lunch?
Don’t you guys get it??? We don’t have to pay for it, the GOVERNMENT pays for it. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She really is as dumb as a box of rocks.
I find it “puzzling” that anyone with two functioning brain cells would vote for this communist, clueless little girl.
Then again, it’s socialists we’re talking about here....they have NO functioning brain cells.
She’s amazingly stupid.
Now we know why, despite have a degree in economics, the best job this chick could get was bartender. We also see what an east coast degree in economics is worth. I imaging you get a “C” for just getting your name right on the test booklet.
Occasional Cortex and the Legendary Maxine Waters will form the IQ Caucus in the next Congress.
She once said that savings on funeral costs would help pay for it. She was saying that there would be fewer deaths once we have socialized medicine, and that savings from lower funeral costs should be factored into the equation.
