Rookie Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot back at critics who say her progressive agenda is too radical and expensive, saying theres nothing revolutionary about providing people with good jobs, healthcare and an education.
When you cant provide for your kids working a full-time job, working two full-time jobs. When you cant 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 were 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.

But she's not Anglo, so liberal women won't care.
Is that Crazy Eyes and Beto?
I love it when Michael Savage calls her “ Alexandria Occasional Cortex”......
Be on alert though as how long was Obama in congress before they decided that he was presidential material? They are apt to try to replace Warren & Hillary with her, & Hillary might support it as vengeance against us voters could be her sweet revenge.
Every village needs it’s own IDIOT.
The Democrat village has A O C.
Someone needs to find a few of the wait staff at the bar she worked at & question THEM about her taking all the tips for herself.
When ‘supporting your family’ means giving every child over the age of 6 a cell phone...
When using expensive electronic games for entertainment instead of books......
When ordering your food to be DELIVERED to your house, already portion prepared or ready to heat up.....
When you have to have a car that is less than 3 years old & is a high end car at that......
When you have to take expensive VACATIONS to exotic locations.......
When you are not cleaning your own house, but a cleaning service is always at hand.......
When you never do your own yard work or your own pool cleaning........
When you have a massively endless PAY TV package with all the sports add-ons.........
When you support millions of deadbeats of all stripes in the USA because you think that is ‘compassion’ and you don’t care about how high your taxes are......
When you MUST HAVE a designer do the interiors of your abode....and you change your ‘decor’ often......
When you MOCK the people who are growing your food here in the USA.....
Then you are living above your means. Living the high life doesn’t mean that I owe you a raise as your employer.
As a matter of fact, I might be very tempted to lay you off because your decision making abilities when you are on the job at my company isn’t going to be much better.......
I’m sick of Ms. Occasional-Cortex already
I am hoping that Trump is also using the shutdown to eliminate about 20-25% of Federal ‘workers’.
The bloat & featherbedding is rampant.
There are thousands of opening in the private sector for jobs & these suckerfish can learn what it REALLY means to WORK.
Is Ms. Cortez going to apply the 70% tax rate to herself etc.?
NO!
PS Find the money trail to see who really put her up to run & pulls her puppet strings???
Maybe I don’t get out of the basement often enough.
She and her fellow commies will have their critics killed.
All commies do.
