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.”

Yeah, Stalin was not a radical either.....
What's radical is this beat...
The Libs believe that government creates wealth and money - look up Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), as well as Stephanie Kelton (former economic advisor to Bernie Sanders - BS). They absolutely believe they can print as much as they want with no ill effects
has joe crowley announced his 2020 campaign yet? he’s going to send that empty headed little chick packing back to her bartender gig.
Another Freeper called her the Bug-eyed Bolshevik.
She also called Trump a racist, saying “no question he’s a racist” and when Cooper asked for examples she was vague saying he uses “certain words” which of course she did not mention. Of course though, she brought up the usual Charlottesville incident when Trump was referring to the right and left and not the Nazis, but of course she twisted it like her other fellow commies do. I guess it just slips her mind that in two years Trump has done more for the black and Hispanic communities than past Presidents have done in 50 years,so of course he’s racist. A racist who helps blacks and Hispanics. Once again flawless leftist logic.
What I find amazing is that she didn’t dance off the roof.
She’s an idiot but she is a DANGEROUS idiot who has millions of people who agree with the stupidity that comes out of her mouth. The little girl “Tippy Top” BS is all an act..she does that so she appears like such an innocent cutie, she is DANGEROUS because what she and others want to do is DESTROY this country. If she wants to take money away from the rich, she should start with the liberal celebrities who believe in socialism. I want to see Barbara Streisand’s reaction when they come for her dough “NO NOT MY MONEY” and how about Cortez, she gets paid 175,000 a year to run her trap..take 70 percent of HER wealth, spread it around
It’s more like her brain is too small.
LOL! Perfect!
AOC could relocate to West Virginia where the cost of living is lower.
She could even move to Palo Alto, Redmond, or Kauai for a more diverse life style.
....Pffftt! Who is paying for all of her new outfits? Do these fancy outfits show up on her public reporting forms?
Because young folks have learned in commie college that its all about FREE FREE FREE except “WHOSE GONNA PAY FOR IT” their response “PAY FOR IT” yeah they are THAT stupid..Bernie Sanders has FOUR houses and a Porsche, tell him to sell three out his houses, his Porsche, and pay off the student loans of his supporters. He can drive around in a nice Honda Accord instead, he doesn’t NEED a Porsche right Bernie
lol
[working two full-time jobs]
No wonder we only have half the full-time jobs we used to have!!
Some ‘super wealthy’ Dems...i.e. Oprah, John Kerry, Bloomberg may not be happy to hear Mz Ocasio Cortez call for them to pay 70% in taxes.
Not a chance. He can't moonwalk.
They already have their wealth - they won’t mind seeing anyone that could accumulate wealth to compete with theirs have it confiscated by the government.
