call flushing taxpayer money down the drain...an investment!

*************

There isn’t going to be that much money available to flush down the drain. We have a $21.5 TRILLION national debt. And on top of that another $115 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities.

Then there’s massive state debt, local debt and consumer debt. Our country loves debt!

Not saying they wouldn’t go ahead and spend anyhow, but she’ll have to destroy the economy to do it. We’re already in trouble now as it is.

In a true socialist ‘economy,’ there are no corporations, no stocks to invest in.

All of the wealth she’s talking about came from free markets. Socialism creates nothing but shared suffering.

From the socialist bartender who serves you a watered down drink and calls it a double.

The Socialists and Communists always have grand visions with vague five,ten and twenty year “plans”. They also give twenty year prison time to all those who disagree and are “enemies of the state”.

Venezuela used to be wealthy, too.

As my Late Mother used to say, “you help People who CAN’T help themselves, not People who WON’T help themselves”.

She was talking about Charity, not Government.

“Crazy-eyes Cortez is using the Hillary approved method of obfuscation - call flushing taxpayer money down the drain...an investment!”


Crazy Cortez is dumb and behind the curve.
The “your tax is an investment” scam has been busted long away. Now, tax has been renamed by the Commucrats “dividends”.

She was working on her economic plan when she stole redistributed tip money from a waitress at the bar where she worked.

There should be a law that next time some politician describes government spending to buy votes as “investment” their nose will be sentenced to the guillotine.Bubba Clinton started this whole government spending as investment meme that we are now saddled with for the forseeable eternity.

[[Ocasio-Cortez: My proposals aren’t ‘pie in the sky’ ]]

No- more like ‘Head firmly up butt’ and ‘This is a stick up- give me all your money” proposals/demands

...the U.S. government would fund a federal jobs guarantee, "Medicare-for-all," tuition-free public college and other programs that could cost roughly $40 trillion over the next decade, Ocasio-Cortez insisted she was not blind to the "political realities" of enacting her platform...

She really should get a refund on her tuition for her economics degree. These are not "investments" they are expenditures with little or no hope of any tangible return. If that's what she considers an "investment"...

It's not the political realities she should be concerned about - it is the economic ones, the social ones. Well, maybe she is - bringing socialism to another country to destroy it.
