The Stupidity from Ocasio-Cortez

[~Rocktar~]

40 Trillion dollars.

Go ahead and tell me specifically how we get there.

And just to let you know.. let's say we do all her retarded ZOMGTAXTEHWEALTHYANDEVILCOMPANIES!.. that accounts for 2 trillion.

So you're down to 38 trillion.

Remember boys and girls and whatevers out there, this 38 trillion is ON TOP OF the current 20-40 trillion in unfunded entitlement programs we ALREADY HAVE. Just to put that into some kind of perspective, if you taxed 100% all the money of all the banks and people and companies and governments in the entire world, you still would not have enough money to pay off that debt in one year. So, you are looking at already adding 1-2 trillion to the debt just to cover the unfunded part and that is before what we are already spending that we don't have and are adding to the debt each year.

So no AOC and all the rest of your Leftist idiots that are bad at math, we can't pay for this with taxes, the tax cuts actually helped pay for more of it by getting people out and working so they are not adding to those costs and if you don't stop the people are going to revolt. In the middle ages, people rose up and chopped the heads off leaders when the taxes were 50%. We are at around 47 to 49% now for those that actually pay taxes and almost half don't pay any income tax at all.

I've read that price tag includes what we already spend, about $36 trillion, so we are really only talking about $4 trillion over 10 years. Doable.

I've also read that deficit financing is used to fund big costly projects like wars so why not social programs? But to be honest thats waaaay out of my understanding.

Read above moron. We already are deficit spending to pay for social programs long before you add in the cost of any wars which you morons seem to think Trump is bad for trying to get us OUT of. Hummmmm.

There is just too much to unpack here to truly respond to it all.

I will say that the idea of tax breaks for the rich supposedly helping everyone is complete fantasy rhetoric of the GOP. There is not one conclusive study by anyone that finds that giving tax breaks to the rich helps anyone but the rich and of course the politicians they make campaign contributions to.

[Neveragain]

Big ideas mean big commitments. Those big ideas are to benefit all Americans. We've come together before to tackle and conquer some big issues. This isn't any different. We find ways to spend trillions on defense, we can find ways to spend trillions on healthcare for everyone.

Imagine all the things that suddenly become illegal when the government becomes your healthcare provider, your drinking habit being one.

The 80's are proof enough.

We do have plenty of historical evidence to show that government ran healthcare ends in a most terrible way.

Wait.. so your idea is to stop spending any money on anything but these 4-5 things.. then all we need to do is come up with 4 more trillion?

You're serious now?

But to be honest thats waaaay out of my understanding.

Understatement of the Year Nominee.

So, the latest tax cut.. now we have the lowest unemployment in years...

If a job doesn't help you get more money.. not sure what to tell you at this point...
