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.

I guess Mitt was going for the gayest pose in his mom jeans that he could strike.
Meanwhile, Man’s Country Barack was body surfing for transgender bathrooms.
Who went by the name of Sandy until she decided to make politics her career.
Arent her 15 minutes over yet?
Hey you ignorant scum (Occasional Cortex), the tax cut has resulted in MORE income tax revenue. See http://www.crfb.org/blogs/has-revenue-risen-2018 (Note the linked article spins the increase as being despite the tax cut, but the facts are self-evident.)
From the horse's mouth to your ears....
Pay for a tax cut?! Right.
Pooper Cooper has the Vanderbilt fortune to fall back on. He is not worried.
I agree.
We know she is. But the kids she’s pandering to don’t.
Oh Demscum supporters just wont bother paying and theyll get away with it. Look at Al Sharpton. And they know it.
She could use a little support.
Hmmm...by the looks of her dancing and prancing, maybe she imagined herself as Sandy from Grease.
Tom Perez would say that.
Her problem is that she's too pretty and dresses too well for liberal women to identify with.
She said President Trump was a racist. She is an idiot. The people who elected her are idiots.
I don’t have a problem with that video. She seemed like a cute college chick having some fun. Now? She’s a radical feminist lesbian. So it looked like she was indoctrinated at Boston University.
But wait Julian castro says 90% on the rich, trying to out socialist each other.
Democrat leaders are not saying it, but, Alexandri Ocasio-Cortez is the true new leader for the democratic party. She embraces and represents best what the democratic party is all about, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. “Speak” her mind. Kind of says it all, and she speaks for democrats, and therefore should rightfully be called: the “real speaker of the house” while democrats are in the majority. Pelosi? Nope! AOC outshines her, and represents the party’s ideals best. Speaker Ocasio-Cortez. Pelosi is kidding herself if she thinks she is controlling the agenda for democrats. AOC will be voted official speaker if democrats retain control in 2020.
