Can we all agree Ocasio-Cortez is fencepost dumb or nuts?

$90 trillion for the green new deal is “soo many sweet potato cubes”.

[Catonahottinroof]

$600,000 per household.....let that sink in a bit....

$90 trillion for the green new deal is “soo many sweet potato cubes”.

[Doc]

Initially it was 9 trillion. I laughed at that suggestion.

Funny that spending $9,000,000,000,000 to $92,000,000,000,000 is something the democrats get behind and support, but think $1,600,000,000 is too much to spend on a wall... or at least that is ONE of their arguments. That is 0.0018%...because democrats are so fiscally responsible.

[Catonahottinroof]

You can give me $600,000 and I’ll take care of all you need and have some left over.....

[CitizenBBN]

For $92 Trillion we could probably put it into R&D and invent cold fusion or warp reactors or something and end the limitation on resources altogether.

You mean rebuilding or retrofitting every single home and business in America to be green might cost something? Huh.. Never would have made the connection.

[KentuckyWildcat]

And I'm with you, I think she just may be that stupid, which maybe makes her more dangerous than if she was just a conman.

I have decided that you owe all of my fence posts an apology.

At least fence posts are useful. You have a point.

I am not sure how dumb she is, but it is obvious to me that she believes the sheep are easily duped...................

The piece mentioned the New York Democrat’s call in January for more sustainable energy solutions: "The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,” she said at the time.


report accuses her of 'Green New Deal' hypocrisy

[Catonahottinroof]

Economics major from Boston University.....let that sink in in too..

What she knows about economics wouldn't fill a thimble. Tells you a lot about the state of education these days.

Micro is I imagine still largely OK, but macroeconomics has long been filled with clever idiots. People who forget that economics is the study of how individuals react and behave, and that all macro movements are a function of micro behaviors and decisions.

[bigsky]

Now she is forced to take plastic bags at the grocery. Forced!

[Doc]

but potentially she thinks like a politician where the laws are suggestion for them. I hope the new AG goes after her campaign finance issue as hard as the left is going at Trump.

If it really is 12 years, lets just party.

[Doc]

If it really is 12 years, lets just party.

She didn't happen to give us an exact date, right? Is so, can we change the "debt clock" above to the "end of the world/ apocalypse" countdown? I need to start on my bucket list now.

Oh, and where is the actual science to support this?

[bigsky]

My mortgage companies are gonna be so mad. The lack of morality and personal responsibility all makes sense if the world IS gonna end in 12 years. Why aren’t we all wearing a duck suit and drunk on a beach somewhere? I am waiting for one of those Hollywood jerks to sell me their millions of dollars beachfront house for pennies because it is about to dive dive dive

Told you she was dumb as a fence post:

The gift that keeps on giving lol

[CitizenBBN]

This is an oldie but a goodie, remembered it b/c it was mentioned in that article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.e481fd3722b1

“$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.”
— Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), in a tweet, Dec. 2, 2018

Of course the Pentagon annual budget is around $600 billion a year, so if we wiped out the entire US military, the $32T cost is over 10 years, so we could pay for 6T of the 32T if we had NO MILITARY WHATSOEVER.

The article she obviously didn't or couldn't read points out the "missing" $21T is on both sides of the DoD ledger, and includes lots of duplicate budget dollars not being tracked multiple times. The point of the story was that the Pentagon has absolutely horrid bookeeping, but that $21T isn't just money somehow missing or not used or sitting there.

Which is just like her belief that $3B in New York tax breaks to Amazon can now somehow be spent b/c it is apparently in a pot of gold under Gov. Cuomo's mansion.

Seriously, she's an idiot. A complete fool. She doesn't understand the most basic concept of accounting or economics or American history, despite having a degree in the subject.

Which shows how the biggest ripoff in this nation right now is the bill you get for a college education. They're a joke. They turn out people who don't have a clue in the world what is going on and charge you $50K a year in the process.

[Doc]

I started a thread but will delete

She does realize FDR died in office, right? Is a corpse qualified to be president?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Republicans amended Constitution to kick FDR out of office.

Plus he would not get credit for ending the war... but then I'm sure some other democrat would take credit.

[CitizenBBN]

Plus he would not get credit for ending the war... but then I'm sure some other democrat would take credit.

Given the way he ended the war I doubt if any of them have the guts to stand up and say it was the right decision.

Say, wouldn't it be fun to give AOC, and really the whole Congress, a history test? And an economics test too. Micro econ, something that can't be debated.

She'd have answers on there that would end up on one of those youtube videos of funniest test answers. those videos are usually full of answers from 6-12 year olds, but I bet hers would fit right in.

Of course if the Left gets its way we'll simply have a Cultural Revolution and purge all those false and misleading facts from schools and books.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses pricey croissants to criticize opponents of $15 minimum wage

https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/al...s-minimum-wage

I wanna know why she is at Laguidaria. Why not Grand Cental Station and catch a train?

And who the hell think the price of ANY airport food is relevant. If the point is that a croussant cost $7 hence we should pay everybody at least $15...do that and your Airport Pastry is $20....and $1.50 at the corner bakery

LaGuardia employees already have a $19+ minimum wage. Apparently she thinks everyone should have to pay $7 for a croissant.

every day is a new adventure

Ocasio-Cortez slammed as 'financially illiterate' at Sharpton event over Amazon, faces calls to be ousted from office

and she now speaks ebonic---- "Aint nothing wrong with that" but she forgot to end with the N word.........shiiiii

I wonder if voters in her district are beginning to figure out she’s a financial moron? Even doubly worse that she actually has an economics degree......

[CitizenBBN]

She's going to have an interesting re-election race. At least 2 people have announced they are running against her, and her running off Amazon had a lot of detractors in her district that wanted that company coming in with those jobs.

she's now got off the charts name recognition and national cred, but is she delivering what her constituents really want? Given that district was held forever by a Democratic moderate I have to wonder if her base is anywhere near this radical.

with a few exceptions most districts care more about fundamental things like jobs and health care than her tripe. I'm betting she gets a couple of interesting challengers, one in the primary and one in the general even though it's a strongly Democratic district.

Her primary challenger will be her biggest problem.

Muslims were so ticked off at terror attacks against muslims in New Zealand, that they decided to blow up part of the Philippines. We should definitely lift the ban on muslims wanting to enter this country and make sure they all live on the same block in DC with AOC.

AOC dunks on Kentucky Republicans for posing next to a cardboard cutout of her.

Only problem is, that's no Kentucky Republican--that's John Yarmuth, Democrat Congressman from KY-3 and House Budget Committee Chairman:
