Rookie Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot back at critics who say her progressive agenda is too radical and expensive, saying there’s nothing revolutionary about providing people with good jobs, healthcare and an education.
“When you can’t provide for your kids working a full-time job, working two full-time jobs. When you can’t have healthcare. That is not dignified,” Ocasio-Cortez told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday.
The 29-year-old newly minted House member is entering office with an ambitious agenda — including Medicare-for-all, tuition-free public college, and sweeping environmental protections.
“How are you going to pay for all that?” CBS’ Anderson Cooper asked her.
“No one asks how we’re going to pay for this Space Force. No one asked how we paid for a $2 trillion tax cut,” she said. “We only ask how we pay for it on issues of housing, healthcare and education. How do we pay for it? With the same exact mechanisms that we pay for military increases for this Space Force.”

She’s a gift for us.
So now it’s life, dignity, and the pursuit of happiness?
The idiocy is strong in this shining thing...
her progressive agenda is too radical and expensive
Is that anything like her underwear being too tight?
I wouldn’t say it is too radical. Too stupid to even be considered sure...
No one asked how we paid for a $2 trillion tax cut,” she said

I believe she is a retard, Jim.
The public educated morons will eat this up and she will be their hero.
Oh but there is. The fact she believes the government is in the business of providing people jobs, healthcare and education shows that she is a light-weight wannabe revolutionary.
All
Out
Crazy
What was hilarious, is that the guy interviewing her is one of those at the “tippy top” who would be hit by her new tax
As would be most prime time news readers
Sad but true. The idiots have a new hero and icon in AO-C! The next two years will be fun to watch!
She's wrong.. an education didn't affect her at all.
She’s got a gazillion followers, including lots of Bernie tards. They all are not capable of rational thinking, only emotional. Convincing them her plans are nuts can’t be done. She will gather more and more tards, till she actually is a major power.
She is dangerous to the republic.
Seeds of marxism planted long ago, through our schools, have brainwashed an awful lot of people. They will be her brownshirts.
Don’t be shocked when she calls for a march of somekind by her followers, and several hundred thousand show up.
We may actually be looking at the next frue Hitler.
Libturd NUTJOB
What is Space Force? Is that like Battlestar Gallicta?
Radical? Socialism is treason, pure and simple. Let her hang herself.
I agree with you. Too many people are making fun of her and not seeing the reality. She will become a leader in th the Democratic Party.
