Even some lefties on Twitter are giving her the side-eye for this. Imagine how wrong you’d have to be on the numbers for defense spending for liberals to say, “You’re exaggerating the problem.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @Ocasio2018

$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”

$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.

That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.

And that’s before our premiums.

And some think it’s only two years. She’s on the gravy train now and will soon be a millionaire. She may be good for another 40 or 50 years.

I’m confused now. I thought we pay for Medicare for all becsuse of factoring in all of savings on funeral costs when we have socialized medicine.

All she has to do is stay in office 5 years and she gets a Congressional pension and healthcare whenever she decides to leave.

She's safe for life unless she gets redistricted.

With their luck she’ll get gerrymandered into representing more people. You know how this goes.

To be fair to her, there are a LOT of people, including what appears to be a majority of elected democrats, who have no idea what “$21 trillion in accounting errors” actually means, and think instead if means that 21 trillion dollars disappeared or was spent incorrectly.

Nope. If just means that there is not appropriate accounting for receipts and collectables that, together, add up to $21 trillion. Note — this means both money coming in, and money going out. If you had an $11 trillion dollar input error, and an $11 trillion dollar output error, the books could actually be balanced, with no dollars sitting around, and no debt; you simply can’t know.

But she clearly thinks that $21 trillion dollars was put in the trunk of a tank, and the tank was driven into the ocean, and the money is gone now.

Maybe if we stop sending people to Mars and keep Guam from capsizing we can save even more.

Does she take her brain out and play with it or take it for a walk every day? Her stupidity is breathtaking

Oh, yes. And I’d love to be her book agent. First, I’d hire a really good ghostwriter. Then I’d get that Beto guy from Texas to write the forward.
