Ocasio-Cortez was asked last week whether she thought Medicare for All was too expensive. Here’s what she said:

“No, people often say, like, how are you going to pay for it and I find the question so puzzling because ‘How do you pay for something that’s more affordable? How do you pay for cheaper rent?’ You just pay for it. We’re paying more now.”

That's her inner bartender coming out. I'm also looking into why beer isn't a basic human right along with healthcare, housing, and education.

Like the skit: Where does the money come from? Your wallet. Yes, but how did you get the money in your wallet? You put it there? From where? From your bank? How did the money get in the bank? You deposited it? Where did the deposit come from? Your wallet.

I do more coke, so I can work more, so I can do more coke, so I can work more......

[Bullish]

I knew she had it all figured out.

Do I really need a /s ?

[dp0622]

I put what she said through the universal translator.

“Whitey will pay for it” was spit out :)

How do you pay for it?

What a stupid question.

You use Paypal.

Or you could have it taken directly out of your monthly universal basic income payment.

Beer is certainly more important and more valuable than education.

Beer is why we go to college.

I’m reminded of the older black woman that truely thought that Odungo being elected would get her a new “home” to live in....

Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance implies a level of stupidity which would be fatal if she were not protected by her privileged background.

She belongs in an assisted living facility for the intellectually impaired, not Congress.

[Former Proud Canadian]

She has an economics degree from Boston College.

She will probably win her seat.

These facts prove three things. Boston College is turning out graduates who are dumber than rocks. Voters in her district are also dumber than rocks. We are doomed.

[Tax-chick]

I believe her dazzling ignorance is sincere. She genuinely believes that “free” medical care will have a lower aggregate cost than the current arrangements.

The new(est) face of the Democrat Party.

That's what puzzles me. Beer is nothing but water with some stuff added. Why aren't they all the same price? I'm sure Cortez has it all figured out.

[GaryCrow]

That’s some of that high level economics degree ciphering going on there, her squirrel is running too fast for us to keep up.

Beer is why we go to college.

Student loans pay for the beer.....

Who’s on first???

[RoosterRedux]

And after you retire, you can pay for your beer with a government-insured reverse mortgage.
